Boucher was employed on tapestry design for the Beauvais factory. He produced for Beauvais his enchanting Chinese subjects ('sujet chinois'), decorative, flippant and deft, presenting palm trees, doll-like people, feathery hats, suggesting a generalized, amusing exoticism. One of the most delightful of this set is La Pêche chinoise (The Chinese Fishing).
