Pollard Willow, after 1804

Pierre Jean Boquet

Pollard Willow, after 1804. Little is known about Boquet's life, and his artistic origins remain obscure. His style and technique suggest that he received formal training, but where and with whom is unclear. An inscription on a painting attributed to Boquet implies that he spent time in Rome, where he would have seen works by 17th-century French artists such as Claude Lorrain. This may explain the gentle, bucolic atmosphere and the warm, golden light in Pollard Willow, characteristics of which recall the paintings of Lorrain and his contemporaries. The severe pruning or pollarding of trees, especially willows, was a common practice before the Industrial Revolution (about 1750-1850). The procedure allowed the tree to produce large numbers of shoots, which were used in basketry, fence construction and as fodder for farm animals.
