Jean Honoré Fragonard (French, 1732–1806). A Woman with a Dog, ca. 1769. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Fletcher Fund, 1937 (37.118). There is a certain humor in the contrast between the ample proportions of the sitter and the small size of her lapdog; the curl of his silky tail echoes her gray ringlets. Her brooch and pearls are much too large to have been real. #dogs
