Beautiful Miniature Painting after Boucher by the Lake

This is a delightful, original painting after Francois Boucher painted in bold gouache colours around 1860. This is in its original stained wood frame with inner gilt mount. The painting depicts a lovely pastoral scene with lambs and ladies in a grand garden scene with a suitor courting. It is signed by the artist R. Dumans and references Francois Boucher. Francois Boucher (1703-1770) was a French painter, etcher and draughtsman who famously worked in the Rococo style. He is well renowned for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings on classical themes, decorative allegories and pastoral scenes. He was perhaps the most celebrated painter and decorative artist of the 18th century. The picture is 17 cms by 15 cms overall with the image being 8 cms by 6.5 cms. This beautiful painting is one of eight good miniatures from the same collection in Boucher’s style that we currently have listed.
