EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of rural life in 18th century France. Titled "Contadina" it is part of a collection called "Recueil de diverses fig. res etrangeres Inventees par F. Boucher P. tre du Roy et Gravees par F. Ravenet" (Collection of Various Foreign Figures, Devised by F. Boucher, Painter of the King and Engraved [etched] by F. Ravenet), plate 11. The image depicts a female figure standing elegantly with a profile view, showcasing her rustic beauty against a simple background. The woman's posture exudes grace and poise, reflecting the artistic style popular during the Rococo era. Created by Gabriel Huquier, this engraving beautifully captures the regionalism and concept of country life that was celebrated during this period in French history. The attention to detail in both clothing and facial expression adds depth to the portrayal of this Contadina or countrywoman. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece showcases François Boucher's talent as a painter while highlighting Gabriel Huquier's skill as an engraver. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and offers viewers an insight into 18th-century France.
