"Indolence (La Paresseuse Italienne)" is an oil painting created in 1756 by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), who was renowned for his genre paintings and portraiture that often carried moralistic overtones. The painting depicts a young woman, presumably Italian, lounging in a state of languid repose, embodying the concept of idleness or indolence. The subject's relaxed posture, the softness of her attire, and the intimate setting contribute to the overall theme of leisure and inactivity.

Greuze's work is characterized by its fine detail, emotional depth, and the moral narratives that often underpin his scenes. "Indolence" is no exception, as it reflects the 18th-century Enlightenment interest in the study of emotions and moral virtues or vices. The painting may be interpreted as a subtle critique of idleness, a vice that was frequently admonished during the period, or alternatively, it could be seen as a celebration of the simple pleasures of life.

The painting is significant within Greuze's oeuvre as it exemplifies his skill in capturing the nuances of human expression and the textural qualities of fabric and skin. His ability to convey complex psychological states through his subjects contributed to his reputation and the popularity of his works among French art collectors of the time.

"Indolence (La Paresseuse Italienne)" is a testament to Greuze's talent in blending portraiture with genre painting, creating works that are both aesthetically pleasing and rich in interpretive potential. The painting remains an important example of French Rococo art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value.
