About this work

An engraved interior scene shows a woman in a lavish ruffled gown seated in an ornate armchair, attended by several men in period dress with lace collars and plumed hats. Classical fluted columns, wall sconces with candles, and a draped curtain frame the room, with a small dog in the foreground. This print by Jean-Honoré Fragonard was made in 1795 and illustrates a tale from La Fontaine's Contes et nouvelles en vers.
