Quentin-Pierre Chedel (1705-1763) was a French engraver and etcher of the 18th century, best known for his prolific book illustration work and his engravings after other artists' designs. François Boucher (1703-1770). Boucher is perhaps best known for his many mythological paintings, such as Diana at the Bath of 1742 (Paris, Musée du Louvre), and pastoral subjects, such as Pensent-ils au Raisin of 1749 (London, Wallace Collection). Although this work is held in quite a few museum collections, it is surprisingly scarce, with no genuine copies available at the time of cataloguing. .
