Le savetier

Jean Dambrun after Jean-Honoré Fragonard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures: one seated and two others partially reclined on a bed. The standing figure is a woman leaning slightly forward from behind a curtain, observing the scene in the bed. She has long hair and wears a headscarf. The woman on the bed lies back with her head thrown back and mouth open. She has styled hair with curls and is wearing a long, flowing dress with ruffled sleeves. Next to her sits a man holding a piece of paper in one hand. He has short, wavy hair and wears a suit with stockings and shoes. The room is cluttered with items such as pots, a basket, an overturned chair, and scattered wooden boards. The walls are adorned with paintings and shelves holding various objects, suggesting a rural or rustic setting. Wooden beams can be seen on the ceiling.
