NOTES:
[1] The painting was engraved in 1771 by Jean-Baptiste Lucien, at which time it was in the possession of the sculptor Pigalle. [2] The MFA painting has been tentatively identified as the "Tète d'enfant" attributed to Greuze in the Khalil Bey sale of 1868. Notes in the auction catalogue indicate that this painting had been in the collection of the Comte de Perregaux.
