La Frileuse

Jean Antoine Houdon French

On View Gallery

Frileuse significa uma mulher que sente muito frio; a versão de mármore preservada no Musée Fabre, em Montpellier, datada de 1783, foi originalmente concebida como uma alegoria de inverno. O próprio Houdon fundiu o bronze do Museu, proveniente da coleção do duque de Orleans, incorporando sua essência na composição, similar à coluna girando em espiral. A pele trêmula da jovem contrasta com o xale que a envolve, elegante mas inadequado para cobri-la.

Winter, Jean Antoine Houdon (French, Versailles 1741–1828 Paris), Bronze, French, Paris
