A carta de amor

early 1770s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 631
Na obra de Fragonard, “acabamento” é um conceito relativo. Aqui, o artista pintou um fundo marrom, com tons de marrom mais escuro, desenhando e modelando as formas com pinceladas de diferentes espessuras feitas com a ponta do pincel. As cores e o branco foram apenas usados nas passagens claras do centro da tela: a face polvilhada da jovem, seu vestido e o chapéu, a mesa, as cadeiras, as flores e o cão. Não foi possível decifrar as a inscrição no papel que a modelo segura ou determinar se este famoso quadro é um retrato ou uma cena de gênero.
