A Pastel, The Young Pupil, After François-hubert Drouais, 19th Century
Artist: Francois-hubert Drouais
This work depicts The Young Student, one of the most iconic subjects attributed to Hubert François Drouais.
The copy presented here is a 19th-century pastel, based on Drouais's model. Faithful to the spirit of the original.
An 18th-century French painter, François-Hubert Drouais (1727–1775) established himself as one of the most refined portraitists of his time.
A student of François Boucher, he distinguished himself with portraits imbued with grace and naturalness, in which elegant poses were combined with a gentle expression.
This subject is perfectly in line with Drouais's strength: portraits of children and young adolescents.
Through The Young Student, he developed a new iconography for his time, in which children were no longer simply idealized little adults, but sensitive, attentive beings captured in a moment of intimacy.
