The Trough is a 1763 oil by Jean Honoré Fragonard, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a trough, surrounded by lush greenery and trees. In the foreground, a person is seen tending to animals near the trough, while a few animals are gathered around it. The sky above is filled with large, fluffy clouds. A closer look reveals the artist's attention to detail in the foliage and the subtle play of light on the scene. The use of warm colors adds to the tranquil atmosphere of the painting. This work showcases the artistic skill of Jean Honoré Fragonard.
Jean-Honoré Fragonard was born on 5 April 1732 in Grasse, the son of a glover, and moved with his family to Paris in 1738.
