Werkstatt Das Schaferstündchen (The Shepherd's Hour) is a notable work attributed to the workshop of François Boucher, a prominent French painter, draughtsman, and etcher, who worked in the Rococo style, celebrated for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings on classical themes, decorative allegories representing the arts or pastoral occupations, and several portraits of members of the court of Louis XV. While the exact date of creation for "Das Schaferstündchen" is not precisely documented, it is generally believed to have been produced in the mid-18th century, a period during which Boucher's influence was at its zenith in the French art world.

François Boucher (1703–1770) was known for his rich and varied work, which encompassed not only paintings but also tapestry designs, decorative frescoes, and theater set designs. His art is emblematic of the Rococo style, characterized by soft colors, fluid lines, and a light, often erotic, treatment of mythological and pastoral subjects. Boucher's works were highly esteemed by the court, especially by Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of King Louis XV, and his influence extended beyond France, affecting artistic tastes across Europe.

The attribution of "Werkstatt Das Schaferstündchen" to Boucher's workshop suggests that while the piece may not have been entirely painted by Boucher himself, it was produced under his supervision and direction, reflecting his style, themes, and techniques. This practice was common in the period, allowing artists to meet the high demand for their works. Pieces produced in an artist's workshop can vary in the level of participation by the master artist, from general oversight to direct involvement in significant portions of the work.

"Werkstatt Das Schaferstündchen" embodies the quintessential elements of the Rococo movement, with its pastoral theme, delicate composition, and romantic portrayal of shepherd life, imbued with an air of sensuality and playfulness. Such works were popular among the French aristocracy of the time, who idealized rural life and valued the escapism offered by these idyllic scenes.

As a work attributed to Boucher's workshop, "Das Schaferstündchen" holds value not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its contribution to the understanding of 18th-century French art, the Rococo style, and the practices of artist workshops during this period. It remains a subject of interest for art historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of French art and the Rococo era.
