Museum: Museo del Prado, Madrid, España.The Love Letter early 1770s Jean Honoré Fragonard French Finish is a relative term in Fragonards paintings. Here, over a brown tone, Fragonard seems to sketch with the tip of his brush energetic strokes of varying thickness that capture sunlight that lands at the center of the canvas, along the womans cap, powdered face, flowers, dress, and dog. This painting should not be read as a portrait, but as a genre scene that takes up a key eighteenth-century theme, the love letter, in which the appreciation of the work is as much about how Fragonard paints as what he depicts.
