Painting Description
"Portrait of Mademoiselle Bergeret" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist François Boucher, a leading painter of the Rococo period known for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings, decorative allegories, and pastoral scenes. The painting is believed to have been completed around 1766 and is a quintessential example of Boucher's mature style, which is characterized by its softness, fluidity, and charm.
The subject of the portrait, Mademoiselle Bergeret, is thought to be Marie-Emilie Coignet de Courson, the wife of Boucher's patron Bergeret de Grancourt. The painting depicts her in a pastoral setting, a common theme in Boucher's work, where the influence of the pastoral literature and theatre of the time is evident. She is portrayed as a shepherdess, a popular motif in Rococo art that romanticized rural life and associated the aristocracy with the simplicity and purity of the countryside.
Mademoiselle Bergeret is shown seated on a rocky outcrop, dressed in a fashionable shepherdess costume, complete with a wide-brimmed straw hat adorned with flowers. Her pose is relaxed and graceful, with a gentle expression that reflects the Rococo taste for elegance and refinement. The landscape in the background is lush and idealized, typical of Boucher's scenic backdrops, which often served as a fantastical escape from urban life.
The painting is notable for its exquisite use of color and light, with a palette dominated by soft pastels that enhance the dreamy, ethereal quality of the scene. Boucher's skillful rendering of textures, from the delicate lace and silk of the subject's clothing to the softness of her skin, demonstrates his mastery of the medium and his ability to convey sensuality and luxury.
"Portrait of Mademoiselle Bergeret" is held in high esteem as an example of Boucher's portraiture, which, while not as prolific as his mythological or pastoral scenes, showcases his ability to capture the grace and personality of his sitters. The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance within the Rococo movement and French 18th-century art.
