The Warrior is a 1770 oil by Jean Honoré Fragonard, a Rococo painting work, held at Clark Art Institute.
The painting shows a man in a yellow shirt with white ruffles and a red and black coat. He is sitting at a table with his left arm resting on it. The background is a dark gray color. The man's face is painted with a lot of detail, showing his wrinkles and facial features. His hair is dark and curly. He is looking to the left of the painting. The painting is an example of chiaroscuro, a technique used to create a strong contrast between light and dark.
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.
