His works are characterized as sentimental and moralistic. He was praised by Diderot. Among his best known works are Les Deux Soeurs, La Malediction paternelle, La Cruche Cassee, and LInnocence tenant deux Pigeons. This painting, titled La Laitiere or The Milkmaid may perhaps be said to be the most representative of Greuze's works. The affected pose and simpering smile, the unsuitability and over-arrangement of the dress, are as characteristic of the painter as the perfect grace of the ensemble, the delicious coquetry of the attitude, the dimpled roundness of the form, and, above all, the sparkle in the clear eyes and the exquisite bloom of the flesh. The painting is in the Louvre.Print made by Francesco Bartolozzi RA, 1728-1815, Italian, active in Britain (1764-99), Miss Farren, 1792.
