About Artwork: (ca. 1773–75) "Shown at the Salon of 1775, this was among the canvases of which Diderot asked "But, Robert, you have made these sketches for so long, are you unable to make a finished painting?" The artist’s loose handling partook in a deliberate aesthetic of the sketch even at such a large scale. This painting and its pendant (35.40.2) were commissioned by François Bergeret de Frouville, a financier whose older brother was a major patron and collector of contemporary art at the end of the ancien régime. Robert, who excelled at the depiction of ruins, was often criticized for his ability to paint figures. He has copied the woman riding sidesaddle directly from the elder artist François Boucher." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
