State Hermitage Museum.Jean Baptiste Greuze (17251805) was a French genre and portrait painter. 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, and La Cruche Cassee. This painting, titled LInnocence tenant deux Pigeons or Innocence holding two Pigeons, is a typical example of the eyes Greurze never tired of painting, large innocent orbs with a sparkle that suggests the morning sun or flowers wet with dew. The moist half-open lips you also find in most of his girl-heads. The lovely color scheme is particularly happy even for Greuze.Mademoiselle Caroline Riviere, 1806, by French Neoclassical painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867). Louvre Museum. Paris.

Painting: Oil on copper Frame: Silver on wood core, 17 3/4 x 15in. (45.1 x 38.1cm). PAINTINGS AND THEIR FRAMES Lists of paintings in dowries and estate inventories often include descriptions, however brief, of their frames. In the colonial period, frames were often higher in value than their painted images, especially when made of silver or embellished with gold leaf. Paintings were even cut down to fit expensive frames or discarded altogether and replaced with mirrors. The nearby large painting on copper of Saint Catherine of Siena was evidently so esteemed by its owner that a richly embossed silver frame was commissioned for it. The valuable silver frames for the two small, unrefined interpretations of the Annunciation and the Meeting of Joachim and Annaadorned with embossed flowers, twisted Solomonic columns, putti (winged infants), scalloped shells, and mythological creatureswere probably worth more than tThe Female Eagle - Shawano.
