Der Zeichner
1770s
Step into a lush, overgrown garden where nature has enthusiastically taken over the architecture in this charming sketch by Rococo master Jean-Honoré Fragonard. In the foreground, an artist sits peacefully at his easel, capturing the scene, while a small dog rests nearby—perhaps a playful self-portrait of the artist himself enjoying a quiet moment of creation. Signed in the bottom corner, this 1770s drawing perfectly captures the era's love for romantic, untamed nature, feeling less like a formal study and more like a private, peaceful diary entry.
