About the piece
Painted around 1795, this bust-length study by Jean-Baptiste Greuze exemplifies the artist's mastery of sentimental portraiture. The young subject's delicate features and contemplative expression are rendered with a soft, hazy technique that emphasizes the play of light on her skin and the rich texture of her curls, characteristic of late 18th-century French aesthetics.
