Georges Lucien Boichard is a French painter. His father Jean-Alcide-Henri Boichard was himself an academic painter who exhibited at the Salon between 1844 and 1868. A student of Léon Bonnat and Jules Lefebvre, Georges Lucien Boichard exhibited at the Salon from 1880.
Our painting, dated 1881, is probably a study for an allegorical subject of Truth, a pretext for depicting a beautiful nude woman by a fountain. The beautiful modeling of the woman's body and the pose recall Renaissance sculptures, even those of ancient Greece, and the ideal of feminine beauty. This theme was fashionable among artists in France in the 1880s. It could be the painting "Etude" exhibited by Georges Lucien Boichard at the 1881 Salon des Artistes Français.
