Boy with a Black Spaniel

- 65.0 x 53.0 cm
François Hubert Drouais (1727 – 1775)
Rokokomester François-Hubert Drouais indfangede den franske adel i værker som Madame Jacques Benoit Loys. Genopdag Louis XV-æraens glødende ynde.
The art critic Denis Diderot rarely praised the popular portraitist Drouais, but admitted that he “paints children well; he infuses their eyes with life, transparency, a moist richness, swimming so that they seem to gaze at you and smile at you at the same time.” Here Drouais paired such eyes with those of a puppy dangling in the child’s arms. This is probably an autograph replica of a painting shown at the Salon of 1767 and dated 1766.
