"Enfant au Bilboquet" is an 18th-century painting by French artist Jacques-Fabien Gautier-Dagoty (1716–1785), known for his pioneering work in color printing and anatomical illustration. The painting's title translates to "Child with a Cup-and-Ball" in English, depicting a young boy engrossed in the popular traditional game of bilboquet, which involves catching a ball in a cup attached to a stick. Gautier-Dagoty's work is characterized by its vivid realism and attention to detail, reflective of the Rococo style that was prevalent during his time.

The artwork captures the innocence of childhood and the universal joy found in simple games. The boy's focused expression and the dynamic positioning of his hands as he plays offer a snapshot of the era's cultural pastimes. "Enfant au Bilboquet" not only showcases Gautier-Dagoty's skill as a painter but also serves as a historical record of the social customs and leisure activities of the French upper class in the 18th century.

As an artist, Gautier-Dagoty is particularly noted for his contributions to the development of color printing techniques, especially in the realm of anatomical illustration. However, "Enfant au Bilboquet" represents a departure from his scientific works, highlighting his versatility and ability to capture the nuances of human expression. The painting is an example of how Gautier-Dagoty applied his understanding of color and form to subjects beyond the scientific, contributing to the broader tapestry of French art history.

While "Enfant au Bilboquet" may not be as widely recognized as Gautier-Dagoty's anatomical prints, it remains an important work that reflects the artist's range and the cultural context of his time. The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of genre scenes in European art and the fascination with capturing the everyday moments of life.
