Detail of the Landscape with Washerwomen by Fragonard in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, June 2018
Landscape with Washerwomen (Primary Title)

Jean-Honoré Fragonard, French, 1732 - 1806 (Artist)

Date: ca. 1765

Culture: French

Category: Paintings

Medium: oil on canvas

Collection: European Art

Dimensions: Unframed: 15 1/4 × 19 1/4 in. (38.74 × 48.9 cm)
Framed: 23 1/4 × 23 3/8 in. (59.06 × 59.37 cm)

Object Number: 80.81

Fragonard, like many of his European contemporaries, greatly admired 17th century Dutch art despite the official disrespect shown for it in contemporary French Academic circles. Though this brooding landscape particularly recalls similar subjects by Jacob van Ruisdael, it is highly original and the artist signed it twice.
