The Stolen Kiss Jean-Honore Fragonard
Oil on canvas; 45 x 55 cm
Fragonard created this picture in the late 1780s
as a continuation of his series on Kisses. The
scene is lyrical and somewhat sentimental. The
girl's face recalls Fragonard's daughter. In his
late works the artist rendered the texture and
fabrics in the manner of 17th-century Dutch
genre painters. Demonstrating a virtuoso
mastery of light and shade, the artist sought to
render thoroughly the details of the interior, the
glistening silk, the transparency of the light
scarf, and the pattern of the lace.
