The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 led to the collapse of the Parisian market for fine bronzes and terracottas, forcing Carrier-Belleuse to relocate his studio to Brussels. In tow was his apprentice, Rodin, who had previously worked on statuettes at the master's Parisian workshop. Still relatively anonymous and yet highly technically skilled, Rodin went on to work in the studios of Brussels' leading sculptors until 1877.Carrier-Belleuse was renowned for his busts and figural groups that were executed in a decorative rococo style. The present work depicts a popular 19th Century subject, that of a young woman's sexual awakening, surrounded by winged putti who act as personifications of romantic love. The sculptural model for the present work was first attributed to Rodin by the Belgian critic Sander Pierron in the above-cited 1902 article. This attribution has been confirmed more recently by Antoinette Le Normand-Romain, Jérôme Leblay and François Lorenceau.The Compagnie des Bronzes de Bruxelles executed examples of the present sculpture in bronze, terracotta, marble and biscuit de Sèvres porcelain, with the final sculptures made by 1910. This cast is a particularly fine example, distinguished by its silvered and gilt patina which serves to heighten its decorative and romantic force as well as complement its rococo style. The original terracotta group now resides in the permanent collection of the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh. Although scholars have remarked on the somewhat fraught relationship between the two sculptors, their mutual support did endure, with Carrier-Belleuse being among the group of artists who testified in defence of Rodin's famous Age d'Airain ('The Age of Bronze').For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
