This picture, at first entitled “A Father handing over the Marriage-portion of his Daughter,” then “The Village Bride,” is the best of Greuze’s subject pictures. The scene is more or less naturally arranged, and informed with the tender homely sentiment inspired by the subject; and the bride, with her fresh young face and modest attitude, is a delicious figure. It was exhibited in the Salon of 1761, and now hangs in the Louvre.
