Specialist note
The style of the drawing on the recto, which uses dense hatching to render the shadow, allows the sheet to be dated to the early stage of Greuze's career, around the late 1750s. It can be compared stylistically to the study of A little boy standing which was sold in these Rooms on 4 July 1984, lot 120.
