JEAN BAPTIST GREUZE. 425
90. A pretty Female, about fourteen years of age, seated in
a chair with both hands crossed on her bosom. She appears
to have just risen from her couch, and is still en chemise.
2st. 5 in. by 2st.—C.
Now in the collection of Lord Yarborough.
Exhibited in the British Gallery, ini832.

91. La Considence. Two pretty young females loosely
dressed in white linen, leaving their bosoms exposed. One of
them standing in nearly a front view, with her right hand
raised, appears to feel a lively interest in some communication
which her friend is making by whispering in her ear, and at
the same time extending the right arm round her neck, having
a scarf in her hand. A little dog is near them, and a landscape
forms the back-ground.
3/?. 4| in. by 2/b 8 in.—P.
Collection of Chevalier Erard, 1832. . . 5000/s. . 200Z.
- M. Nieuwenhuys, 1833. . . (bought in) 510ys.
92. A Bust of a pretty Girl, represented in the character of
a Bacchante; her countenance is animated with smiles and her
fair complexion set off with dark hair, entwined with vine
foliage; the head inclines gracefully on the left shoulder, and
her light and scanty dress leaves the right breast exposed.
An exquisite performance.
1 st. 6 in. by 1 st. 2 in.—C. (about.)

93. (Companion.) A Girl, with a countenance agitated by
anxiety or apprehension; her right hand is raised to her fore-
head, and the left placed on the top of a rock. The painter
has, apparently, intended to embody in this picture some his-
torical fact, as the expression depicted is that which would
probably be excited by the wreck of a vessel, in which some
dear friend might be implicated.
Now in the possession of Madame Augustine, price (pair) 8000fs.
