Artists and Engravers: Made by 'I.G. Hertel' after 'Francois Boucher'. Johann Georg Hertel, the younger (1719-1768) was a German engraver/printmaker and publisher working in Augsburg. 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. He was perhaps the most celebrated decorative artist of the 18th century.
