Not sold
antimony, 66 x 16 x 18 cm, h=70 cm, signed on the right side, in the back, "Carrier-Belleuse"
The statuette is a quintessential example of Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse's virtuosity in sculptural composition and his flair for theatrical sensuality, making him one of the most famous sculptors of the Second French Empire. This sculpture embodies the Beaux-Arts tradition, blending mythological allegory with naturalistic details and reflects the 19th century European fascination for the exotic and erotic.
