Description: | This painting of a child's head was previously thought to be by Jean Baptiste Greuze, a genre and portrait painter, but the technique is weak in comparison. The small panel carries similar stylistic traits to the art of Fragonard, the great Rococo artist, but the eyes of the child fail to show the style and technique of a competent artist. It is probably painted by a follower of Fragonard, who produced many studies of children's heads in the later part of his artistic life. Fragonard spent the last few years of his life in obscurity but has subsequently been regarded as one of the greatest poetic artists of the eighteenth century. | Subjects: | figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Fragonard, Jean-Honoré (French painter, 1732-1806) Æ Attributed to school of Previously attributed to school of Greuze, Jean-Baptiste (French painter and draftsman, 1725-1805) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8804... | Go to resource |
