Circa mid-19th century Claude Michel, known as Clodion (1738-1814) was born in Nancy and died in Paris. He won the Prix de Rome in 1759 and stayed in Italy for around ten years, during which he enjoyed great success. He executed, according to his drawings brought back from Italy, many terracotta sculptures: bacchanals, bas-reliefs and other subjects. For nearly 50 years he modeled these subjects mixing memories of Ancient Rome and Rubens-style sensuality. Dimensions: Length 23 cm Width 19 cm Height 38 cm Weight: 15 kg
