according to Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), Picture, approx. 48 x 65 cm, 44 colours, 9 stitches/1 cm, Gobelin with petit-point-section
The stickset includes: fabric, yarn, stich pattern and an embroidery needle.
Fragonard was a pupil of the painter Boucher, whose painting style was so strongly transferred to him that the pictures later are so similar that they can be confused, such as the picture "The Swing" from 1767 (London, Wallace Gallery). Fragonard was as good a painter as he was a draughtsman and loved the everyday events that were depicted in his pictures. He had the great good fortune to be able to work and create throughout his life relatively independently of financial problems.
