The Palette Game

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Palette Game (c. 1761-1765) by Jean-Honoré Fragonard

The Palette Game (French - Le Jeu de la palette) is a c.1761-1765 oil on canvas painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, showing an idyll with a happy company in a natural landscape dominated by ruins.[1] It and The See-Saw were rediscovered in a château in Orne in 2016, after which they were both declared national treasures of France then acquired for the Louvre, which placed them on long-term loan to the Musée Fabre in Montpellier in 2021.[2]
