The Guilty and Repentant Daughter by Jean-Baptiste Greuze: A grayscale drawing depicting a dramatic scene. A man sits in an armchair with one leg crossed over the other. He is wearing a robe and slippers and has his right arm outstretched. A large dog stands beside him. A woman sits to his left, with her head in her hands, and a young girl stands behind her. To the right, several people are gathered in various poses of distress and emotion. One woman kneels, looking up, while another sits with her head bowed. A third woman stands with her hand to her forehead. A man in the background peers around a curtain. The room has columns and a large empty frame on the wall.
