EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a little girl immersed in farm work, transporting us back to the 18th century. The image is derived from the Premier Livre de Figures d'apres les porcelaines de la Manufacture Royale de France, devised by Mr. Boucher in 1757. The young child, dressed in traditional clothing of that era, stands as a symbol of innocence amidst the rustic setting. Her tiny hands firmly grasp a shovel as she diligently digs into the earth, embodying the essence of agricultural labor during this time period. This enchanting engraving showcases not only her dedication but also highlights the significance of farming and rural life in French society. The porcelain-like quality of this print adds an artistic touch to its overall aesthetic appeal. Created by Pierre Etienne Falconet, a renowned French artist known for his Rococo style engravings and etchings, it exemplifies his mastery in capturing intricate details with precision. Displayed within museum walls or private collections alike, this piece serves as a testament to our rich heritage and cultural history. It invites viewers to reflect upon childhood innocence intertwined with hard work on the farm—a concept that transcends time and remains relevant even today. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Falconet's collection at The Met Museum, we are reminded of how art can transport us through centuries while preserving our connection to our roots and traditions.
