The Raised Chemise or The Shift Withdrawn (La Chemise enlevée ) is a small c.1770 oil-on-canvas painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, now in the Louvre in Paris, to which it was left by Dr Louis La Caze in 1869.[1] Its earlier but similarly small pendant Fire to the Gunpowder (Le Feu aux poudres) was in Carlos de Beistegui's collection and is now also in the Louvre.[2][3]
It was exhibited in Paris in 1860, helping the frères Goncourt rescue Fragonard from the obscurity into which he had fallen after the French Revolution, albeit only as a frivolous painter – his skill as a history painter was not recognised until the 20th century.[4]
