Painting of the French painter Jean Honore Fragonard “Peasant Children”. The size of the picture is 50 x 61 cm, canvas, oil. This work of Fragonard is also known as “Farmer’s Children”. The Hermitage Museum was acquired in 1829 from the Paris collection of paintings of the Duchess Saint-Le.
Along with the pastoral scenes, Fragonard, like Jean Baptiste Gresu, wrote in the 1770s genre scenes depicting a family idyll. The famous thinker-encyclopedist Denis Diderot, who criticized frivolous subjects, devoted an article to these works of Fragonard.
