About the piece
Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s 'Sultana on an Ottoman' (circa 1774) is a brilliant example of French Rococo fascination with Orientalist themes. Known for his rapid and fluid brushwork, Fragonard captures the subject with a radiant energy, using light to highlight the textures of her shimmering costume against a deep, atmospheric background. This work exemplifies the elegant and playful spirit of the late 18th-century French court style.
