Sold....portrait of a Young Boy as an Artist, Late 18th C; Follower of François-hubert Drouais

Description

Oil on canvas in a gilt frame of late 18th c. type.

The good looking boy is dressed in the fashionable clothes of aristocratic children of the period and, holding his palette, turns away from the portrait he is painting to look at the viewer.

His rather thoughtful gaze and slight smile enhance the charm of this beautiful portrait.

FRANCOIS-HUBERT DROUAIS (1727-1775) trained under Boucher and was strongly influenced by his style; he became a rival to Nattier as a fashionable portraitist. His portraits have a gracious and slightly artificial charm redolent of the French Court.

Painting mainly the aristocracy, he was particularly successful with children, but his best known portrait is probably that of Madame de Pompadour, mistress to Louis XV.

SIZE: 30 x 25 inches inc. frame.

PROVENANCE: French Private Collection.
