Aimé-Jules Dalou (1838-1902) Bust of a sleeping baby Model created between 1872 and 1878; published by Hébrard from 1902 Bronze with shaded brown patina Signed "DALOU Bears the founder's stamp "CIRE PERDUE A.A. HEBRARD" and the number "(B17)". H. 19 cm, on a sea-green marble base H. 6.9 cm Motherhood and childhood were themes dear to Aimé-Jules Dalou during his exile in England. Buste de bébé endormi was originally a study for the group Parisienne allaitant (Paris, Petit Palais, inv. PPS298), the marble of which was exhibited at the Royal Academy Salon in London in 1872. It also featured in other compositions by the sculptor, notably the Berceuse and the Monument aux petits-enfants de la Reine Victoria.
