When it was thoroughly cataloged and discussed by Richard Rand in 2009, Young Girl Reading by Jean Honoré Fragonard was linked, albeit with important qualifications, with the artist’s so-called figures de fantaisie (fantasy figures) or portraits de fantaisie (fantasy portraits)—half-length representations of men and women shown striking dramatic poses in colorful masquerade dress and rendered in loose, gestural brushstrokes. Among the most beloved works in the artist’s oeuvre, these pictures are also among the most mysterious and have therefore prompted the most debate: produced for unknown reasons, perhaps representing real individuals, perhaps not.
