Winter is a 1755 oil by Jean Honoré Fragonard, a Rococo painting work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a woman and two children in a winter scene. The woman, dressed in a red cloak, lies on the ground, while the children, wearing colorful clothing, stand beside her. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. A notable detail is the woman's red cloak, which stands out against the otherwise muted colors of the scene. The children's clothing adds a pop of color, with one wearing yellow and blue and the other wearing orange. To learn more about the artist's use of color and light, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
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.
