QUARRYMAN OF BELLEUSE ALBERT-ERNEST, KNOWN... - Lot 456 - Coutau-Bégarie
QUARRYMAN OF BELLEUSE ALBERT-ERNEST, KNOWN AS THE QUARRYMAN-BELLEUSE (1824-1887). Empress Eugenie as Marie Antoinette. Cookie bust signed on the back "A. Carrier", resting on a circular base. Good condition. French work from the end of the 19th century. H.: 45 cm - W.: 25, 5 cm. Reference: Carrier-Belleuse seems to have been inspired for this bust by a mixture of Eugenie's and Marie-Antoinette's faces, in reference to the famous painting painted in 1854 by Winterhalter representing the Empress "à la Marie-Antoinette", which is kept in the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
