"Le Petit Boulanger" (The Little Baker) is a painting by Paul Charles Chocarne-Moreau, a French artist known for his genre scenes that often depicted children in various settings. Born in Dijon in 1855, Chocarne-Moreau received his artistic training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was a pupil of Alexandre Cabanel. His works were frequently exhibited at the Paris Salon, where he gained recognition for his charming and detailed depictions of everyday life.

"Le Petit Boulanger" is emblematic of Chocarne-Moreau's style, which combines a fine attention to detail with a sentimental portrayal of his subjects. The painting portrays a young boy, presumably an apprentice, in the act of baking, surrounded by the tools and ingredients of the trade. The scene is set within a rustic bakery, and the warm tones used by the artist evoke the heat of the ovens and the coziness of the setting.

The composition of "Le Petit Boulanger" is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through the scene, capturing the innocence of youth and the earnestness of the boy's endeavor. Chocarne-Moreau's skill in rendering textures—from the softness of the dough to the roughness of the wooden surfaces—is on full display, contributing to the tactile quality of the work.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not specified, it is likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Chocarne-Moreau was most active and his works were in high demand. The painting is a fine example of the genre painting tradition in France, reflecting the societal interest in the daily lives of ordinary people and the romanticization of childhood.

"Le Petit Boulanger" has been appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its social and historical significance, offering insight into the working conditions and social roles of children during the period. The painting is a testament to Chocarne-Moreau's ability to capture the spirit of an era and the universal themes of work and childhood.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location or ownership of "Le Petit Boulanger" is not publicly documented, and it may reside in a private collection or a museum not widely known to the public. The painting continues to be of interest to collectors and scholars of French genre painting and those who study the portrayal of labor and childhood in art.
