Jean-Baptiste Greuze's "A Girl with a Dead Canary" depicts a young woman in mourning, her head resting on her hand as she gazes down at a birdcage containing a lifeless canary. The painting, likely from the 18th century, exemplifies Greuze's sentimental style, showcasing the emotional impact of loss and evoking empathy in the viewer. The delicate brushstrokes and soft lighting accentuate the girl's sorrow, while the floral accents and the birdcage symbolize the fragility of life and the inevitable passage of time.
