The story of Young Girl Reading
The girl in the picture has never been identified. The National Gallery of Art in Washington bought the painting in 1961 with funds given by Ailsa Mellon Bruce, daughter of Andrew W. Mellon, following her father's death.

Jean-Honoré Fragonard
Jean-Honoré Fragonard was a French painter and printmaker whose late Rococo manner was distinguished by remarkable facility, exuberance, and hedonism. One of the most prolific artists active in the last decades of the Ancien Régime, Fragonard produced more than 550 paintings, of which only five are dated. Among his most popular works are genre paintings conveying an atmosphere of intimacy and veiled eroticism.
