GREAT BRITAIN.
WALLACE COLLECTION,
In this collection alone there are twenty-one examples of the work of Greuze. Some of these are of the best, and a few illustrate the artist's imperfections. For instance, before Fidelity and Ariadne one has the same unpleasant sensation as when a girl spoils the effect of her beauty by stagey poses and by sentimental attitudinizing. A Bacchante is gross and voluptuous. The most important pictures in the collection are:
A Girl with Doves. (See [p. 40.])
The Listening Girl. (See [p. 54.])
Portrait of Mdlle. Sophie Arnould.
The Votive Offering To Cupid.
The Broken Mirror.
Innocence. (See [p. 56.])

A Mother and Three Children.
The mother indicates, by a look, that she does not wish the oldest boy to disturb the youngest by playing his flute.
