A bronze sculpture with a brown patina depicting a Nymph descending to her bath, after the famous marble by Étienne-Maurice Falconet, exhibited at the Salon of 1757. This model, inspired by a painting by François Lemoyne, exudes all the grace and discreet sensuality characteristic of antiquity. Leaning against a tree trunk, the young nude woman holds a draped garment in her hands. This charming statue of a bather rests on a square base of patinated brown bronze. Attributed to the French School of the 19th century. Falconet's original marble has been on display at the Louvre since 1855. Circa: 1880

Base dimensions: 17 cm x 17.5 cm

A new feminine ideal

In the 17th century, Falconet, inspired by Lemoyne's painting "The Bather," defined a feminine ideal that would permeate his later works. Among the attributes of this ideal of beauty, we find narrow hips, a small and high bust, sloping shoulders, a triangular face, a delicate smile, but also a center parting, a hairstyle inspired by Antiquity that so appealed to Madame Du Barry that she asked to be portrayed with this hairstyle.
