He wsas the son of the engraver Johann Georg Hertel, the elder (1704-1783) and brother of Georg Leopold Hertel (1740-1778). Francois Boucher (1703-1770) was a French painter, a proponent of Rococo taste, known for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings on classical themes, decorative allegories representing the arts or pastoral occupations, intended as a sort of two-dimensional furniture.
