Marie Jeanne Boucher
Marie Jeanne Boucher belongs to the French printmaking tradition of the mid-eighteenth century, working in etching and turning to intimate, unguarded moments of everyday life for her subjects. Her sheets center on quiet genre scenes, as in the example of two boys sleeping beside a tree, where the etched line carries the whole of the composition. The archive holds a single work by her, an etching dated to 1750. That lone sheet gives a compact glimpse of her hand within the period's graphic output.
