French School, late 18th century, circle of Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805)
Young Girl with a Basket of Fruit
Oil on canvas, preparatory work, 39 x 31 cm
Provenance:
Private collection
This charming oil on canvas, likely a preparatory study, belongs to the sentimental and graceful tradition of French painting from the second half of the 18th century, and more specifically follows in the footsteps of Jean-Baptiste Greuze. A major painter during the reign of Louis XV and the early years of Louis XVI, Greuze masterfully captured the subtleties of the soul through youthful, often female figures, imbued with gentleness and a sense of domestic virtue.
