Virgin attending to the sleeping Christ child painted by Francois Bouchard. Though little known today, François Boucher was one of the most celebrated painters of the 18th Century in France. He painted classical themes in the baroque and Rococo styles. His patron was Madame de Pompadour and his work was so popular that he eventually became Premier Peintre du Roi (First painter to the King), a prestigious court position in the Ancien Regime.
