Interior
Jean Honoré Fragonard French
Not on view
This print is one of a group of four the arist made in 1778, as he was introducing his sister-in-law, Marguerite Gérard to the rudiments of the technique. It features the full array of country "types" that recur in Fragonard’s work: barefoot children, buxom young women, and bearded old men. Because no clear narrative links the figures, the print has traditionally been referred to by the vague title Interior. Gérard made her own etching after the same lost model, presumably a brown wash drawing by her brother-in-law.
