For your consideration is this Attributed to Jean Baptiste Greuze Oil on Canvas Painting, circa 1755-1804. Provenance: ex-private Bozeman, Montana collection. Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805) was a French painter of portraits, genre scenes, and history painting. Jean-Baptiste Greuze's artistic style is characterized by its blend of Rococo charm with a new emotional realism and moralizing content, focusing on sentimental genre scenes and expressive portraits of young women and children. His work features fine brushstrokes, soft colors, a graceful line, and detailed realism, often within intimate domestic settings, but it also contains thinly veiled erotic allusions beneath its surface of innocence. "Greuze girls" as they were popularly referred to, were painted in the pastel shades of the Rococo style of pale white skin and bedecked in the current pastel-colored fashions. These works were much imitated in Greuze's own lifetime, and, like his genre pieces, Greuze's portraits, while capturing some of the individuality of his sitter's character. This stunning oil painting is in nicely preserved condition, evidence of frame reburbishment, craquelure due to age. Mounted in an ornate gold gilt gesso wood frame, slight scuffing on edges noted. Visible art measures 17.5"W x 21.5"L, frame is 23.75"W x 27.5"L x 2.5"D. Weight is 9lb, 14oz.
