After studying in Rome for ten years, Bouchardon settled in Paris and became one of the city’s leading sculptors. He specialized, among other things, in sculpture for fountains. This elegant model for one such fountain sculpture is attributed to him on the basis of the subject and its Roman-inspired style.
