Fantastical Portraits

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fantastical Portraits or Fantasy Portraits (French: Portraits de fantaisie) are a series of portraits by the French painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard, mostly dating to 1769. It is said that each was executed in a single hour, from which they gained the Italian name fa' presto (made quickly).
