Ragotin dans le coffre 1737

"Ragotin dans le coffre" (1737) is a black and white chalk drawing by Jean-Baptiste Oudry. Depicting an interior scene, the artwork shows a woman standing by a bed, while another woman in a chair is being confronted by a group of people entering the room through an open window. The drawing's detail in capturing the figures and furniture, like the chest in the center of the composition, demonstrates Oudry's expertise in portraying domestic scenes. This work is a valuable example of French Rococo-style drawings with its elegant composition and intimate feel.
