He was born with this talent by his father Nicolas Boucher, a draftsman for furniture and decorations. The works of Francois Boucher cover almost all genres. In addition to painting, he devoted himself to drawing, etching and copperplate engraving as well as works in the decorative field.
Mythological depictions in strong colours, history paintings and still lifes can be found in his work as well as ceiling paintings and wall decorations. A special concern of his was the depiction of erotic scenes, as the painting "Ruhendes Mädchen" (1751) shows. When this work was created, Boucher was already working as a painter at the court of Louis XV and was considered a favourite of the king's mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour.
The young, innocent and playful-looking girl in the centre of the picture, lolls completely naked and unaware of her own erotic charisma, on the sofa, tucked up on her stomach. The seamstress often served as a model for the painter, the intimacy between the two becomes transparent in the picture. The viewer becomes curious about so much blooming innocence. Probably also the king himself, because Marie-Louise O'Murphy, the young woman's name, later became his mistress. Throughout his life, Francois Boucher was successful and recognized in his activities. A member of the Academy in Paris since 1734, he was awarded the Grand Prix de Rome by the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture. The favour of the king, who elected Boucher as the first painter at court in 1765, remained secure for the rest of his life.
