Description:
A French Statuary Marble Bust of Mme. Récamier, 19th c., after Joseph Chinard (French, 1756-1813), reduced-sized figure with upswept curls and scantilly draped with one breast exposed, height 20 in., width 10 in., depth 6 in. ?
- Notes: Note: The great Neo-classical sculptor Chinard created his portrait bust of Mme. Recamier in 1805/6 during one of his infrequent, but highly productive, visits to Paris. Though initially trained in Lyon, Chinard spent years in Rome where he studied the ancient statuary and modern Italian sculpture, deftly combining elements of both in his work. In his depiction of Recamier, the sculptor captures the beauty, charm, and (as evidenced by the scant draping) daring of this remarkable woman.
