She was considered an amateur artist since she was the mistress to a noble, which meant she didn't need an art profession and did the engravings with the help of Boucher, whom she was a patron of.[1]
She had engraving equipment to create the prints of works by Boucher and Guay within her personal apartments in Versailles[2]
Artwork[edit]
Madame de Pompadour's art is 52 engraved prints, of drawings by Boucher, after gemstone engravings by Guay [1]
Her collection of work ,that is in book form, is called Suite d'Estampes Gravées Par Madame la Marquise de Pompadour d'Apres les Pierres Gravées de Guay, Graveur du Roy[3] which translates to in English : Engravings engraved by Madame la Marquise de Pompadour after the engraved stones of Guay, engraver of the Roy.
The personal portfolio of Madame de Pompadour was found in the Walters Art museum in the manuscript room by Susan Wager[4]
Some Art Historians argue about whether or not she should be considered a collaborator with the artist's under her patronage, however there is not any documentation of how much she contributed to the works made, from the idea, composition, to even the colors chosen, will remain a mystery.[5] (footnote)
