FRANCE.
_PARIS, LOUVRE._
During the period of unrest that accompanied and followed the
Revolution, many notable pictures were sold from France, and thus the
largest collection of pictures by Greuze is not to be found in
Greuze's own country. In the Louvre, however, all Greuze's
characteristics may be studied in one or other of the works that hang
there.
L'accordée de Village. (See p. 51.)
La Laitière. (See p. 55.)
La Cruche Cassée. (See p. 54.)
La Malédiction Paternelle.
Le Fils Puni.
Le Portrait de l'Artiste.
Le Portrait du Peintre Jeaurat.
Several Heads Of Girls.
_MUSEÉ FABRE À MONTPELLIER._
La Prière du Matin.
Le Gâteau des Rois.
Le Petit Mathématicien.
