Jean-Baptiste Greuze (attributed to) A Crying Child. Red chalk on cream laid paper. 260 x 330 mm; 10.25 x 13inches. Letters watermark. Ex- collection Lucen Pouze-Huet (Lugt 1742, lower right recto and verso). With a study of a man leaving his family (the crying child repeated in this composition) in red chalk, verso. Both recto and verso of the present work are likely related to Greuze's La Malediction Paternelle: le Fils ingrat, 1777-78, Louvre, Paris.
