Head of Mercury

Modeler Emmanuel Hannaux French
 Manufacturer Emile Muller and Co. French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 556

Many sculptors in the late nineteenth-century turned to commercial manufacturers when they chose to work in ceramics. The firm of Emile Muller, located in the suburbs of Paris, produced this stoneware relief, as well as the figure of a lizard designed by Emmanuel Frémiet exhibited elsewhere in this gallery. The artist Alexandre Charpentier designed a low-relief ceramic plaque to advertise the work of the Muller firm, an example of which is displayed in a nearby case.
