Lovely first idea by Eugène Marioton for an allegorical group: Beautiful ideas captured by misfortune. This is a piece from the sculptor's youth - Marioton was18 and a student of Dumont and Bonnassieux at the School of Fine Arts in Paris when he made the sketch. Over his career, Marioton perhaps pandered a little too much to the market for decorative figures, but at bottom he was always a great sculptor.
