The design in black chalk on paper is inscribed on the back ‘Dessein de m. Boucher apartenant à la/Manufacture de Vincennes, ce 23 aoust 1749 . . .’. (MNS Archives, Inventaire Brongniart Section F § F. 1858. No. 3) It is the earliest known design made by Boucher for the factory, and is the only one which survives in the factory’s archives today. The plaster model is also preserved at the factory. In the drawing the boy is portrayed as a gardener leaning on a spade, and the figure was originally known as 'Le petit jardinier' but although he appears with a spade in painted form on tableware, the spade was omitted from the figures The Boucher drawing and the figure can be related to a series of tapestries of children, and a set of chair covers made for Madame de Pompadour by Neilson 1751-2, and listed in her inventory of 1764.This example is unusual in being glazed rather than biscuit. The boy was one of a series of eight 'Enfants' designed by Boucher, described as ‘Enfans de M. Boucher’ or ‘Enfans de Boucher’ in the biscuit firing records and inventories after 1752, but not differentiated as to subject, although they were grouped into large, medium and small sizes. In the inventory of 1 October1752 there were 16 biscuit examples ready to be glazed at 15 livres and in the Magazin de Vente, 8 large 'Enfans' at 24 livres, 61 medium-sized at 18 livres and 10 smaller at 12 livres, which were still present in the inventory of 3 April 1753. In addition there were then 5 at 20 livres and 3 glazed examples reduced to 15 livres, and two at 20 livres in the hands of the painters. Boucher's child figures remained popular for many years. In the inventory of 1 January 1768 (work in 1767) the sculpture in biscuit included 11 of the first size at 18 livres and 445 of the 2nd size at 36 livres, and the inventory of 1 January 1770 (work in 1769) included 685 of the 2nd size at 36 livres. Today this model is usually paired with the figure of a young girl known as La petite fille au tablier. Although the records show that the model was produced glazed and unglazed, the former are now rare. reference term-106496 adlib-term-106496 bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-251899070993 18th Century, Mid
