LIOTARD, Étienne
(b. 1702, Geneve, d. 1789, Geneve)

Dutch Girl at Breakfast

1755-56
Oil on canvas, 47 x 39 cm
Private collection

This genre scene of an interior was probably painted in Holland around 1755-56. In it the painter perfectly expressed his admiration for the Dutch genre painters of the Golden Age. The fact that the picture is on canvas is unusual in Liotard's oeuvre, for typically his usual medium was pastel on paper.
