La Chemise enlevée

E. Guersant after Jean-Honoré Fragonard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a reclining woman in profile on a bed, with a cherub flying above her while holding a piece of cloth. The woman has closed eyes, delicate facial features, and long hair draped on the pillow. She is covered by a sheet, and the background has heavy curtains. An oval border surrounds the scene, with floral decorations and a quiver with arrows and flowers at the bottom.
