Le Pot au Lait 1745 - 1806

"Le Pot au Lait" (The Milk Pot), an etching by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, is an example of Rococo style art. The print depicts a scene of a man, a woman, and a child, with the woman lying in the foreground, a pot resting on her legs. The scene is framed in a decorative oval, bordered by an intricate floral motif. This work, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies Fragonard’s mastery of etching.
