    Greuze's Workshop or Follower
    This early 19th-century oil on canvas depicts a sleeping child. The work presents a realistic and sensitive composition, typical of academic painting of the period.
    On the back, on the stretcher frame, we read a handwritten inscription: Abel de Pujol, La Rochelle.
    The child, dressed in a white shirt and dark stockings, is depicted lying down or leaning back, in a pose of natural and peaceful repose, reflecting an idealized vision of childhood specific to the 19th-century bourgeoisie, where children were perceived as protected and precious.
    The setting, composed of rocks and leaves, evokes the countryside, a recurring theme in 19th-century painting, where nature serves as a refuge for childhood and innocence.
    This painting is characteristic of 19th-century genre painting, emphasizing the gentleness, simplicity, and discreet emotion of a child abandoned to sleep, in a natural environment far from any theatricality. Close-fitting clothing, layered clothing, and cleanliness reflect high social status.
    Portraits of children, such as this one, were commissioned by wealthy families to demonstrate their success and the importance they placed on their children's education and well-being.
    This painting measures 54 cm by 65 cm.
    Minor paint wear at the edges.
