Fragonard's informal portrait of a woman caught adjusting her garter serves as the pretext for a delightful costume study. Sketched in a light and cursory manner, the woman's figure recedes into the background behind her billowing dress, a rich cascade of dense folds and great airy plumes of rich, satiny fabric.
