About Artwork: (Late 18th century) "A little boy or girl leans on a cushion holding an apple. The child is positioned in the extreme foreground of the picture before a dark blank background, the closeness to us creating a sense of immediacy. The intense gaze of the glistening blue eyes and slightly parted lips – which Greuze has painted with great care – give the child an air of thoughtful melancholy, as well as slight unease. This is not a portrait, but a genre painting of a general type. Children shown with apples must have been a popular theme as Greuze painted lots of them. These single heads were quite profitable as they didn't take long to complete. Such images of children reflect a growing interest in and a changing, more sentimental, perception of childhood in France at this time, with a new fashion for children of wealthy families to be raised by their own mothers rather than servants." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
