Emma Barker connected this artist's head studies of girls with the incest theme found in the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. A rooster pecks at the floorboards in a painting by this artist where a young groom holds the dowry given to him by his father-in-law, who sits with outstretched arms. (*) Denis Diderot was the first to suggest that the title woman in a painting by this artist from the Salon of 1765 is disconsolate not because of the dead animal but because she has lost her virginity. A girl in white grasps at her crotch next to a damaged container in a similarly themed work by this artist of Young Girl Weeping over Her Dead Bird.  For 10 points, name this 18th century French genre artist of The Village Bride and The Broken Vessel.
