L'innocence inspire la tendresse

Etienne Claude Voysard after Jean-Honoré Fragonard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows several figures within a circular frame adorned with floral arrangements. A woman is leaning over a crib, looking affectionately at a baby. Two babies lie in the crib, partly covered with a blanket. Another figure, likely a woman, is seated beside them. The background suggests a rustic interior, possibly a room with simple wooden furnishings. The frame around the image is decorated with floral designs and features a small emblem at the bottom center. The text "L'INNOCENCE INSPIRE LA TENDRESSE" is inscribed below the circular frame.
