1019. THE HEAD OF A GIRL.

Greuze (French: 1725-1805). See 206.

I will paint her as I see her....
With a forehead fair and saintly,
Which two blue eyes under-shine,
Like meek prayers before a shrine.

Face and figure of a child,—
Though too calm, you think, and tender,
For the childhood you would lend her.
