Blind Man's Bluff (Fragonard, 1750)
Painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard
Blind Man's Bluff (French: Le collin maillard) is a painting by the French Rococo painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard, produced around 1750 in oil on canvas. It is held by the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio, United States, which purchased it with funds from the Libbey Endowment, a gift of the glass manufacturer Edward Libbey who founded the museum in 1901.[1]
The artist also produced another work of the same title some time between 1775 and 1780, which is held in the Samuel H. Kress Collection.[2] Eighteenth-century engravings were produced of both paintings, showing that they may have originally been as much as a foot higher at the top.
