JEAN BAPTIST GREUZE. 423
83. A pretty Girl, about twelve years of age, dressed in a
white chemise and a purple colour frock. She has auburn
hair, and the face is shewn in a three-quarter view, with the
head inclining to the right as if she were listening, which is
also indicated by the right hand being raised to the face.
This is a pleasing example of the Master.
1 st. 8 in. by 1 ft. 4 in.—P. (Oval.')
Collection of M. J. Lafitte, . . . 1834. . 6700fs. 268Z.
84. La Vertue chancellante. A pretty young woman,
about fifteen years of age, attired in a loose white morning
dress seated by her bed-side. She holds a watch in her hand,
and with a thoughtful countenance, seems to be reflecting upon
the consequences of her accepting the tempting toy. A little
table stands at the side, on which are a nosegay, a letter, and
some drapery. The room appears to be the upper story of
a house. Engraved by Massard, under the above title. This
is a highly studied production.
2 ft. in. by 2 st.—C.
In the possession of Mr. Delahante, 1831.
For sale, price 10,000fs. 400Z.
Now in the collection of the Baron Lionel Rothschild.
85. A pretty Girl, about sixteen years of age, of a sweet
and interesting countenance, represented in nearly a front
view, with the head inclining to the left shoulder, her dark
locks add lustre to the fairness of her face. She appears to
have just risen from her couch, for her dress consists merely
of a chemise and a pink and white muslin kerchief, which
covers the top of the head, and falling on the right side, is
held up at the shoulder with both hands. Painted in the
artist’s most fascinating manner, and possessing unusual grace
and beauty.
1 st. 6 sin. by 1 st. 3 in.—P.
Bought by the writer, at Paris, 1830.
Now in the collection of Richard Simmons, Esq.
