拍品专文

The figure of the girl was evidently inspired by the similar figure in François Boucher's La Route du Marché of 1770 (Ananoff, op. cit., no. 690, illustrated; sold, Christie's, Rome, 26 November 1986, lot 60); it was adapted by Robert for several paintings and a drawing now at Valence (Carlson, loc. cit., illustrated; J. de Cayeux, Les Hubert Robert de la Collection Veyrenc au Musée de Valence, 1985, pp. 274-275, illustrated in color p. 64). For another instance of Robert borrowing figures from Boucher, see the catalogue of the exhibition, François Boucher, New York-Detroit-Paris, 1986-7, p. 119.

A smaller picture of a related composition in reverse, La Petite Cascade, was in the Professor Thomas Bodkin sale, Sotheby's, London, 11 November 1959, lot 63, illustrated.

Mr. Joseph Baillio will include this picture in his forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the paintings of Hubert Robert, being prepared with the assistance of the Wildenstein Institute.
