Literatur:
J. Martin, C. Masson, Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint et dessiné de Jean-Baptiste Greuze, in C. Mauclair, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Paris 1906, Nos. 538, 547.
Edgar Munhall bestätigt in seinem Gutachten die Echtheit des Gemäldes und nimmt es in seinen in Vorbereitung befindlichen Catalogue Raisonné auf. Er schreibt: ... While the early history of this picture is uncertain, its authenticity as a genuine work by Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805) is not to be questioned ... The subject of a young woman depicted partially undressed, with her breast exposed, is typical of Greuze's unique mixture of voluptuousness and dreamy reflection that he first developed around 1765 ....
Er führt weiterhin aus, dass im Kunsthandel eine Kopie nach diesem Werk existiert, die angeblich über den Pariser Kunsthändler Lebrun nach Amerika kam und zuletzt trotz seiner Zweifel an der Authentizität als Greuze, zugeschrieben bei Sotheby's New York 1981, lot 58 verkauft wurde.
Wir weisen ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass das hier angebotene Gemälde nicht identisch mit dem bei Sotheby's versteigerten Stück ist, sondern vielmehr als Original und damit Vorlage des Sotheby's Gemälde gilt.
Wir danken Edgar Munhall, Frick Collection, New York, für die freundliche Unterstützung.

Greuze, in C. Mauclair, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Paris 1906, Nos. 538, 547.
In his expertise Edgar Munhall confirms the painting's authenticity and adds it to his not yet published catalogue raisonné. He writes: ... While the early history of this picture is uncertain, its authenticity as a genuine work by Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805) is not to be questioned ... The subject of a young woman depicted partially undressed, with her breast exposed, is typical of Greuze's unique mixture of voluptuousness and dreamy reflection that he first developed around 1765 ....
Edgar Munhall further informs about a copy after this painting existing on the art market that reached America via the Paris art dealer Lebrun and was finally - despite doubts on its authenticity as a Greuze - attributed at Sotheby's New York in 1981 and sold as lot 58.
We explicitly state that the painting offered here is not identical to the work auctioned at Sotheby's but is, on the contrary, considered to be the original and thus the model of the Sotheby's painting.
We would like to thank Edgar Munhall, Frick Collection, New York, for his kind support.
