"A Young Maid" is an oil painting created by French artist Jean-Baptiste Gre in 1763. The painting, notable for its detailed execution and emotionally engaging subject, exemplifies Greuze's talent for capturing narrative moments and daily life subjects in his artwork, a style that he pioneered in 18th century French genre painting.

In "A Maid," Greuze depicts a young servant girl against a simple interior setting, overlaying the work with a sense of realism and emotional depth. The girl stands holding a jug and glass, symbolizing domesticity and her lower social status. Her downward gaze and melancholic expression suggest a sense of inner turmoil, a typical device used by Greuze to elicit emotional responses from the viewer.

One particular aspect of the painting which warrants attention is Greuze's skilful play of light and shadow. The maid's youthful skin and neatly folded white apron are facilitated by the artist's command over the effect of light, allowing details to emerge and adding a vivid dimension to the work.

Contemporary critics of Greuze appreciated his ability to convey moral messages through his art. "A Young Maid," revealing the melancholy yet dignified life of a servant girl, is seen as a statement on the societal norms and inequalities of the time. Today, the painting can be found on permanent exhibit at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The painting represents Greuze's contribution to the genre of Social Realism, and it offers viewers a glimpse into 18th century French society through the lens of an ordinary individual's experiences, proving to be an important work in the artist's canon. As such, "A Young Maid" remains a significant statement not only on Greuze's artistic style but also on the wider social conditions of its creation period. The artwork is viewed as a significant example of Greuze's ability to blend narrative elements with a display of subtle human emotions, setting "A Young Maid" apart as one of his most notable works.
