Jean-Honoré Fragonard completed this mythological scene depicting the tragic lovers Cephalus and Procris. The composition combines sensuous color with the loose brushwork that characterized Fragonard's mature style.
According to myth, Procris was accidentally killed by her husband Cephalus while spying on him. Fragonard brought emotional intensity to classical subjects. It hangs at the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Angers.
