Busts on a pedestal in biscuit porcelain representing a child Alexandre Brongniart after the famous sculptor Jean - Antoine Houdon.
Jean - Antoine Houdon demonstrates his wonderful ability to transcribe without contours the freshness of childhood.
The artistic representation of childhood developed from the years 1750-1760.
This phenomenon reflects a change in philosophy with regard to childhood, reflected in the publication of "Émile" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1762.
A pupil of the Royal Academy then a resident of the School of Protected Students (1761-1764), then of the French Academy in Rome (1764-1768), approved at the Royal Academy in 1769, Jean-Antoine Houdon was received as a member in 1777 on presentation of his famous Morpheus kept in the Louvre Museum. He enjoyed great success during his lifetime and his works continued to be reproduced until the 20th century.
Our bust was made in a porcelain workshop in Limoges around 1970.
It rests on a "blue oven" pedestal with golden edging.
Presence of Limoges Porcelain stamp marks / Made in France.
