"Head of a Girl with an Apple" is a notable work by the French painter Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), who was renowned for his genre paintings and portraiture that often carried moral undertones. Greuze's work typically reflects the sentimental and moralistic trends of the late 18th century, and this painting is no exception. It is characterized by its delicate rendering of the young girl's features, the softness of her gaze, and the tender handling of light and shadow, which was a hallmark of Greuze's portraiture.

The painting depicts a young girl in a moment of innocent contemplation, holding an apple, which has been a symbol with various interpretations throughout art history, ranging from temptation and sin, as in the biblical story of Adam and Eve, to knowledge and purity. In the context of Greuze's oeuvre, the apple could be seen as an emblem of the simplicity and virtue of rural life, themes that were recurrent in his work and appealed to the sensibilities of his contemporaries.

While the exact date of creation for "Head of a Girl with an Apple" is not well-documented, it is believed to have been painted during the height of Greuze's career, when he enjoyed considerable success and patronage. His works from this period are marked by a Rococo influence, with a transition towards the more sentimental aspects that would later be associated with the emerging Neoclassical style.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Greuze to achieve the luminous skin tones and intricate textures that give life to the girl's visage and the fabric of her clothing. The composition is intimate, focusing on the girl's head and upper torso, which directs the viewer's attention to her expression and the symbolic object she holds.

"Head of a Girl with an Apple" is part of Greuze's broader legacy, which has been reevaluated by art historians in recent years, with a growing appreciation for his role in the transition between Rococo art and the Neoclassicism of the late 18th century. The painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied as an example of Greuze's skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion and the subtleties of moral narrative through portraiture.
