La Famille du Fermier 1745 - 1806

"La Famille du Fermier" is an etching created by Jean-Honoré Fragonard between 1745 and 1806. The scene portrays a lively and chaotic gathering of children, with a woman seated in the foreground and a child playing with a dog. Other figures appear in the background, interacting with each other in a domestic setting. This artwork, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a powerful example of Fragonard's ability to capture the energy and warmth of everyday life. The etching, with its intricate details and delicate lines, offers a glimpse into the intimate world of a family.
