Louis-Michel Halbou and Antoine-Jean Duclos after Jean-Honoré Fragonard

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of four individuals: one person is seated upright on a bed while the other three are standing. The seated figure on the bed is covered with bedding and has one arm raised towards their forehead. The standing figures include a man holding a torch, a woman with her back to the viewer in a long flowing dress, and another man leaning towards the bed pulling on the sheets. Facial features are detailed; the seated figure has curly hair and wide eyes. The standing woman's hair is ornately styled. The man holding the torch wears a coat over a shirt, and the other man is dressed in period clothing. The room includes a large canopy bed, draping curtains, and an ornate headboard. The background features a detailed painting on the wall depicting classical figures.
