Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Indolence, 1756-1757
His Indolence, showing a lazy servant, is a humorous--but no less moralizing.
2 dictionary definitions:
** in·do·lence n. Habitual laziness; sloth.
** indolence n. inactivity resulting from a dislike of work
This Painting was at the MIA. When Marsha, Marilee and I went to the exhibit. WOW!!! it spoke to me. The write up next to the painting said, that "the woman was lazy and kept a messy house. But, actually, was probably suffering from morning sickness." I absolutely LOVE the orange shoe. Her expression is so real. I have not been moved by a painting the way that this one has moved me, in quite awhile.
