Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828) was a French neoclassical portraitist, best known for his busts of political and cultural figures contemporary with the French Enlightenment. His work is characterized by a dynamic sense of realism and a lack of idealism, capturing the transient expressions of his subject. Influenced by classical masters such as Michelangelo, he often sculpted directly from life or by throwing the faces of his model.
