This print, titled "L'Education fait tout," was created by Jean-Honoré Fragonard and depicts a scene of domestic instruction. The image, set within an oval frame adorned with leafy vines, shows a group of children engaged in various activities. A young woman, likely a governess, holds a book while a boy lies on the ground, possibly engrossed in reading. The scene is intimate and suggests a focus on the importance of education in the 18th century, a theme Fragonard explored throughout his artistic career. This particular print is a reproduction of a painting by Fragonard and was likely intended for a private collection.
