François Boucher is a 1761 ink by Manuel Salvador Carmona, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of François Boucher. He is shown from the waist up, wearing a dark jacket with lace cuffs and a ruffled collar. His right hand holds a pencil, and his left arm rests on a ledge. The background is a dark, mottled color, and the overall tone of the painting is subdued. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait.
