Trained at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1910, Cornet also frequented the studios of sculptor Ossip Zadkine and painter-muralist Diego Rivera. Initially influenced by the art of Rodin, he later turned to the works of Maillol and Despiau. The model's features are reminiscent of the ronde-bosse entitled La Campagne, created by the same artist in 1937 for the forecourt of the Palais de Chaillot.
