Seated Man, His Elbow Resting on a Book
Jean Honoré Fragonard French
Not on view
A seated man in a relaxed pose looks up from his book. This drawing is likely the product of an informal sketching session in a social setting rather than a study for a formal portrait. Fragonard made many similar depictions of friends and family in his later years.
