View of the Park in Saint-Cloud n.d.

This pen and wash drawing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a leading artist of the Rococo period, depicts a scene of the park of Saint-Cloud outside Paris. The artist captured the elegant and refined atmosphere of the park, highlighting the delicate details of the trees and bushes, and the subtle light that bathes the landscape. While the work does not display the vibrant colors typical of his paintings, it offers a glimpse into the artist’s compositional skill and his ability to capture the essence of a place in a few strokes.
