"Girl with a Dog" (1770) by Jean-Honoré Fragonard is a charming depiction of a young girl playfully interacting with her pet. The scene is set in a bedroom, with a canopy bed and a small table with a stool, hinting at a luxurious domestic setting. The girl, dressed in a simple white gown, is lying in bed with a white dog, its head resting on her raised legs. The painting embodies the Rococo style with its lighthearted and delicate details. This piece is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
