Portrait of a Young Woman with White Headscarf

1760
Oil on canvas, 49 x 41 cm

The expressive head exercises of girls and boys by Greuze were quite popular and became one of the painter's specialties. With the face leaning to the left and a pensive look, the girl in the present painting seems deep in thought.
