Boy with a Black Spaniel

- 65.0 x 53.0 cm
François Hubert Drouais (1727 – 1775)
Maestro del retrato rococó, François-Hubert Drouais capturó la elegancia de la aristocracia francesa en obras como Madame Jacques Benoit Loys e invita a redescubrir la gracia luminosa de la era de Luis XV.
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.
