Ovos quebrados

1756
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 631
Embora esta pintura tenha sido feita em Roma e o cenário e os costumes sejam italianos, a composição foi inspirada em uma pintura holandesa do século XVII de Frans van Mieris, o Velho, Os ovos quebrados (Museu Estatal de Hermitage, São Petersburgo), que Greuze conhecia através de uma gravura. Ovos quebrados simbolizam a perda da virgindade. A criança que procura reconstruir um dos ovos representa a inocência inconsciente da infância. A pintura causou uma reação favorável quando foi exibida no Salão de Paris, em 1757.
