Girl with Doves

Clodion (Claude Michel) French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 552

This terracotta statuette relates to Clodion's other standing female figures of 1780s (see also Girl Holding Fruit, 17.120.7), which feature draperies pulled aside to reveal the body and which derive from the Hellenistic Venus Callipygos, then in the Farnese collection.
