Description: Jean-Baptiste Greuze’s (1725–1805) Young Girl Mourning Her Dead Bird (Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh) caused a sensation at the Salon of 1765. As the straightforward title declares, the artist depicted an adolescent female, head in hand, with a dead bird prostrate over an open birdcage. Following conventional emblematics, this scene of daily life was actually a thinly veiled representation of lost virginity.
