La céruse est un pigment blanc, utilisé trés largement autrefois pour son haut pouvoir couvrant, ses qualités de protection contre l'humidité et son prix modique. Son usage a été interdit aux professionnels en 1913 et l'utilisation artisanale en 1948. La teneur en plomb de ses pigments est trés élevée (60 à 80 % sur peinture sèche), or la peinture à la céruse s'effrite en vieillissant et tombe en poussière en 50 à 80 ans. 5, record 1, French, - peinture%20%C3%A0%20la%20c%C3%A9ruse
