19th century French school after Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1 - Lot 406
19th century French school after Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828) La Frileuse Bronze bust with green-brown patina Inscribed "Rieuse de Houdon" on the edge of the base H. 55 cm This work belongs to the corpus of frileuse busts apparently inspired by Houdon, and variously signed Houdon, Pradier or Clodion, without the creator being clearly identifiable. The work seems to be a blend of various influences, from Houdon's Frileuse to Joseph Chinard's bust of Madame Récamier, in response to the Second Empire's taste for this type of subject.
