Honoré Fragonard

Charles Le Carpentier

National Gallery of Art

The image is a bust portrait of a man in a circular frame. The man has curly, light hair and distinct facial features with a serious expression. He is looking directly at the viewer, wearing a formal dark coat with a high collar and a cravat. The surrounding area has intricate patterns resembling foliage. Below the portrait, there is a textured rectangular area with the inscription "HONORÉ FRAGONARD." The background is a plain beige surface, accentuating the detailed etching in the center.
