In the 1730s, the Rococo artist François Boucher was favored by a changeable fate. The status of the king's first painter ensured the young master success, fame and material well-being. In addition, in 1733, Boucher successfully married the lovely seventeen-year-old Marie-Jeanne Buzot, who became the artist’s faithful muse and companion. The painting "Breakfast" created in 1739 is an ode to prosperity and quiet family happiness. Researchers suggest that the painting depicts the painter’s family: the master’s wife is sitting on the right, with a small son at her feet, on the left is the sister with the daughter of a young couple, and behind him stands the author himself, the owner of the house. The Boucher family is having breakfast peacefully at a small table, the faces of those present expressing joy, contentment and calm. Love and sincere warmth of feelings shine in everyone’s eyes. Marie-Jeanne looks affectionately at her son, who has brought his favorite toys with him. The home outfit carefully hides the figure of the wife, which is most likely due to her interesting position and the birth of her second daughter in April 1740. The viewer does not see the face of Boucher’s sister, but the care with which the aunt holds her niece is clearly visible. Standing at a table near a mirrored shelf, the head of the family makes sure that the ladies' cups are always filled with hot aromatic coffee. The cozy atmosphere of a shared breakfast is masterfully conveyed by the artist with the help of contrasting spots and careful selection of colors. François Boucher uses both dark, deep shades to indicate shadow, and light tones of the morning rays
