Jean-Baptiste GREUZE (1725-1805)
Head of a young girl leaning on her hand
Sanguine and black stone on brown wash
(Glued on an old mount, small stains, small tear at the bottom right of about 2 cm)

Our drawing can be compared to the attitude of the girl's head in a painting that was sold in January in New York (see Christie's New York, January 25, 2023, no. 52, repr.).
The same technique, in wash and red chalk, can be found in several sheets of studies of expressive heads, notably a study for Sainte Marie l'Égyptienne (see anonymous sale, Me Yvos, Var Enchères, Le Cannet, 26 October 2013, no. 210)
Provenance:
- According to a label on the reverse, sale on June 23, 1931, no. 28
