Joseph-Charles Marin French
Not on view
One of a pair with 1983.185.6. The bases, if not original, are certainly close to it; the base of 1983.185.5 either predates Louis XVI's death in 1793 or was added after the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in 1815. Marin exhibited comparable groups at the Salons of 1793 and 1795.
