Seated Woman Holding a Bird Cage
This chalk drawing originated from the studio of François Boucher. Although it bears Boucher's signature-seen at lower right-the image was likely executed by a member of the master's shop, rather than Boucher himself. Despite the anonymity of the draftsman, the image nonetheless reproduces one of Boucher's designs and was therefore considered a work by the master.
