Figure Studies including Standing Boy Holding a Pitcher

François Boucher after Abraham Bloemaert

National Gallery of Art

An etching with three main figures depicted from varying angles, along with small sketches of people in the background. The left figure is a seated woman, head resting on hand and eyes closed. She wears a cap, long-sleeved dress, and a shawl. The figure in the center is a man with an obscured face wearing a floppy hat, smiling slightly. The figure on the right is a young boy standing with a walking stick, looking to the side with curly hair under his hat. In the background, there are sketches of other people. The setting is against a plain background, focusing on the figures and their interactions.
