Portrait of a young woman seated at a desk with three birds


oil on canvas

canvas: 17 by 12 ⅞ in.; 43.2 by 32.7 cm.

framed: 22 ½ by 20 ⅛ in.; 57.2 by 51.1 cm.

This composition is inspired by a similar painting in the National Gallery of Art, Washington (inv. 1960.6.19), that was quite popular in the late eighteenth century, though today some scholars do not believe it is the autograph work of Greuze.
