This hall is devoted to French art from the 18th-century Age of Enlightenment.
Hanging on the wall opposite the windows are Widow and Her Priest (c. 1786) and Filial Piety (The Paralytic) (1763) by Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), a popular moralist painter.
At the edges of the main wall are two bronze depictions (after 1777) of the children of the architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart: on the left a Portrait of Louise Brongniart, on the right a Portrait of Alexandre Brongniart, who would become a distinguished mineralogist and geologist.
In the corner on the right is a terracotta Young Woman with a Basket and a Child by Claude Michel (1738 – 1814), known as Clodion.
On one end wall (to the left as you look at the windows) there are portraits by Greuze: Portrait of Count Pavel Stroganov as a Child (1778), Head of a Young Girl in a Bonnet (1760s) and Girl with a Doll (1758).
On the other end wall are Farmer's Children (early 1760s) and Captured Kiss by Jean Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806), both painted in a free unconstrained manner.
In the corner is a long-case clock from the middle of the 18th century. The case is by the cabinet maker Jean-Pierre Latz (1691–1754), the mechanism by Barbier le Jeune (who became a master clockmaker in 1770).
