The child is positioned in the extreme foreground of the picture before a dark blank background, the closeness to us creating a sense of immediacy. The intense gaze of the glistening blue eyes and slightly parted lips – which Greuze has painted with great care – give the child an air of thoughtful melancholy, as well as slight unease. This is not a portrait, but a genre painting of a general type. Children shown with apples must have been a popular theme as Greuze painted lots of them. These single heads were quite profitable as they didn't take long to complete.\n\nSuch images of children reflect a growing interest in and a changing, more sentimental, perception of childhood in France at this time, with a new fashion for children of wealthy families to be raised by their own mothers rather than servants.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/jean-baptiste-greuze-a-child-with-an-apple\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - A Child with an Apple\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Baptiste Greuze","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509752041715,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (16\" x 12 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509752074483,"sku":null,"price":444.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 1\/8\" x 15 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509752107251,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 5\/8\" x 19 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509752140019,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 1\/4\" x 23 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509752172787,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39\" x 30 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509752205555,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 3\/4\" x 36 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509752238323,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 1\/8\" x 43 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509752271091,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (66 1\/8\" x 52 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509752303859,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/AChildwithanApple.jpg?v=1789254896","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/a-child-with-an-apple-ngal1020","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
