Artist: Jean-Baptiste Greuze, French, 1725-1805, Head of an Old Man, Study for A MarriageContract, Red and black chalk with gray wash, 55.6 × 39.4 cm (21 7/8 × 15 1/2 in.), This drawing is a replica by Jean-Baptiste Greuze of his study for the head of the father of the bride in his painting A Marriage Contract (Louvre, Paris). After using the original study—although with a slight alteration of position—Greuze sold it to an admiring collector friend, and he might have made this copy to record the first, or with the thought of selling it, too. When the critic Denis Diderot saw the painting at the Salon in 1761, he wrote that this father of the bride has an air of simple good-heartedness. Baron Grimm, Diderot’s coauthor, was more effusive: One cannot look at this old man of Greuze’s without feeling tears coming to the eyes.
