What is the only American painting at the Louvre?
Until 1986 the Louvre had over 70 American paintings. But they were divided between Orsay, Pompidou, and the Franco-Américaine museum at Bléranourt, with the Louvre keeping three.
Now the Louvre has 3 American paintings. In 2007 it bought Benjamin West's "Phaeton Asking Apollo to Drive the Sun Chariot" (1804), which had been sold to an art dealer by the Franz Hals Museum in Haarlem.
For some time it had Whistler's Arrangement in Grey and Black, usually called Whistler's Mother. I remember seeing it there. That that painting is now at Orsay.
Mary Cassatt has a pastel at the Louvre: "At the Window" (1889). I don't know if this counts as one of the three.
I also remember an Albert Bierstadt at the Louvre, but I can't remember the name of the painting. (He was born in Germany but came here when he was three; so he probably counts as an American)

The dwarf is reminiscent of garden sculptures made for villas; indeed, the Villa Careggi has a sculpture of the same subject. In the past this work has been attributed to many different artists, but it is now generally agreed that this bronze is a revealing work of Florentine mannerism.
