The Father's Curse: The Ungrateful Son (drawing (visual work); Jean-Baptiste Greuze (French, 1725 - 1805) (French Artist); about 1778; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 83.GG.231)

Note: The artist seems to have made this large and highly finished drawing after his own painting of this subject, now in the Musée du Louvre. The squaring lines for transfer indicate that he probably intended to use the drawing for an engraving.
