"Clodion (after) Terracotta Group Nymph And Fauna"
Important terracotta group "Nymph and Faun" after Clodion, early 19th century, around 1820. The sculpture is signed on the terrace and rests on a marble base. In good condition. Very small gaps in the patina, see photos. He was a sculptor of groups, often very erotic and much appreciated by his contemporaries. His best-known works include numerous versions of Bacchantes and satyrs that are characteristic of classical sculpture in pre-Revolutionary France.
