Painting of the French painter Jean Honore Fragonard “A girl in bed playing with a dog”. The size of the picture is 89 x 70 cm, canvas, oil. In 1771-1772, the artist’s attempt to create a series of four decorative panels called “Love of the Shepherds” for the favorite of the French King Louis XV, Madame Marie-Jeanne Du Barry, ends with a complete fiasco.
Idyllic gallant scenes do not receive recognition, the order is passed to Joseph-Marie Vienne, the author of historical fashion compositions on antique themes in a sentimental spirit.
