More about this artwork

Francois Boucher, a pivotal figure of the French Rococo movement, brings us a delicately intimate moment in his artwork titled "Deux jeunes garçons dont un allongé" (Two Young Boys, One Lying Down). This charming red chalk drawing is exemplary of Boucher's skill in capturing the essence of youthful innocence and playfulness.The scene features two young boys engaged in a lighthearted interaction. The standing boy extends one hand outward, balancing himself against what appears to be a stone slab, with his gaze invitingly directed toward the viewer. His expressions and body language convey a sense of movement and eagerness. The other boy, in contrast, is depicted lying on the ground, his body in a relaxed, sprawling position, which adds a serenity to balance the energy of the first figure.With fine, skilful strokes, Boucher portrays the soft textures of the boys' clothing and curly hair, bringing to life their animated forms and cherubic faces. The fluidity of the lines and the subtle gradation of shading demonstrate Boucher's mastery in using the red chalk medium to evoke texture and depth.This piece not only highlights the innocence and exuberance of childhood but also showcases Boucher’s ability to create depth and emotion through simple yet powerful compositions.

François Boucher (1703–1770) was a French painter, engraver, illustrator and printmaker. He was a proponent of Rococo and had a huge influence in spreading the style throughout Europe. His art was idyllic and voluptuous with a high-toned palette of blues and pinks. He created designs for all decorative arts, porcelains and tapestries. Boucher also painted several portraits including his patroness Madame de Pompadour. He is one of the most celebrated decorative artists of the 18th century.
