Pausing by the Fountain is a 1765 oil by François Boucher, a Rococo painting work, held at Foundation E.G. Bührle Collection.
This painting depicts a serene scene by a fountain, where two women are seated on the ground. One woman is dressed in a blue dress and a white head covering, while the other wears a red skirt and a yellow top. They are surrounded by various objects, including a large basket, a dog, and a goat. The background features trees and a body of water, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The artist has used a range of colors to bring the scene to life, with the blue dress and yellow top standing out against the more muted tones of the background. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. The painting is reminiscent of the work of François Boucher, who was known for his delicate and detailed depictions of everyday life.
François Boucher was a French painter, draughtsman and etcher, who worked in the Rococo style.
