This student of François Rude participated in the Salons from 1863 to 1870 where he mainly presented busts and
statuettes in terracotta. It should be noted that he exhibited in 1863 a Portrait of a Young Girl and in 1866 the Portrait
of Miss E.D., both in terracotta, which could correspond to our work representing a young woman
young woman with a delicate décolleté.
A terracotta by the same artist, titled Velleda, is in the Musée d'Orsay.
