Description

This study of the upper half of a young girl, is said to be a portrait of Georgette, the daughter of Greuze’s doorman, who served as a model for the fiancée’s young sister in L’accordée de village at the 1761 Salon, a painting (Paris, Louvre Museum) which greatly contributed to Greuze’s fame. According to other historians, rather than a study for the famous painting in the Louvre, it is an isolated copy dating from around 1765.
