books0977:Allegory of Vigilance (c.1772). Jean Honoré Fragonard (French, 1732-1806). Oil on canvas. Met.The bare breast of the female figure reading indicates that this is not a portrait sitter but a model, and the oil lamp, a traditional symbol of vigilance, indicates that she is presented in allegorical guise. Fragonard paints in wide liquid strokes, stopping for few details, in a style typical of his work in the early 1770s. -- source link
