Description: | The inscription suggests that this painting may have been copied from a Greuze, of whom Ledoux (1767-1840) was a pupil. Greuze made a number of paintings on a similar subject, but so far the original for this has not been located. A young girl is praying beside the corner of a table, on which there is a letter she must have just read, implying some sort of personal drama. This is a typical subject for Ledoux, who painted mostly portraits and genre scenes, amongst which many portraits of girls and young women. The name written on the canvas may be that of the person represented. | Subjects: | figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ledoux, Jeanne Philiberte (French painter, 1767-1840) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8962... | Go to resource |
