    19th century French school, after Louis-Simon Boizot (1743-1809)
    Terracotta with a beautiful nuanced ocher patina
    Signature at the unidentified base, perhaps a practitioner from Samson's workshop who had recovered the molds from the Sèvres factory in the 19th century.
    Tiny chips at the base
    Height: 48 cms
    Diameter: 23.5 cms

    This work was presented for the first time at the Salon of 1786 by Louis-Simon Boizot. It is a variation on the sculpture by Girardon, executed from 1678 for the Bosquet des Sources des Jardins du Château de Versailles. Boizot was inspired throughout his career by the art of Versailles, both for bronzes and for biscuits and more monumental works. This work has for counterpart "The Abduction of Orythia", made after the work of Marsy. The biscuit attributed to Boizot was made in the molding-repairing workshop in Sèvres, which has been responsible since the 18th century for making the Biscuit de Sèvres and whose molds Samson bought in the 19th century.
