Love Letters Print Appraisal

Pair of Framed Jean-Honoré Fragonard Art Prints: 'Love Letters' and 'The Meeting'

This is a pair of decorative offset lithographic prints after the original mid-18th-century oil paintings by Jean-Honoré Fragonard from his famous 'Progress of Love' series. The prints depict 'Love Letters' (left) and 'The Meeting' (right), capturing the quintessential Rococo style with lush, overgrown garden settings, classical statuary, and romantic narratives. Each print includes the artist's name and the title of the work printed in the bottom margin. The artwork is housed in matching contemporary gold-toned composite frames featuring a faux-marble or speckled finish and a classic stepped profile. The pieces are double matted with a cream-colored top mat and a thin gold inner fillet or mat-border. Mechanically produced on paper, these are modern reproductions likely dating from the late 20th century. The condition appears fair to good; there are no immediate signs of water damage, but there is potential light-fading attributable to age and exposure. The frames show some minor surface dust and possible light corner wear consistent with household decorative use. The scale appears to be mid-sized, approximately 16x20 or 20x24 inches including the frame.
