'Broken Eggs' attracted favourable comment when exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1757. One critic noted that the young girl had a noble pose worthy of a history painter. It's pendant was 'The Neapolitan Gesture' of 1757, in which several of the same models appear, but the seducer is foiled by the old woman ( the broken eggs of the title symbolise the loss of the serving girls virginity )
