The Cupboard (L’Armoire)
Jean Honoré Fragonard (mentioned on object), 1778
Fragonard is renowned for his gallant scenes – often explicit – peppered with a lively sense of humour. In a vaudevillian way, he represents here this young woman’s parents, furious upon discovering her lover hidden in the cupboard. The unmade bed, the youth’s forlorn look and his strategically held hat betray their interrupted sexual encounter.
