Jean-Antoine Houdon, La Frileuse, 1793, terracotta sketch, H: 27.4 - W: 8.5 cm, Paris, Musée du Louvre,
RF 2581
This work belongs to the corpus of busts of frileuses inspired, it seems, by Houdon, and which bear various signatures, Houdon, Pradier or Clodion, without the creator being clearly identifiable
.
The work seems to mix various influences from Houdon's Frileuse to Joseph Chinard's bust of Madame Récamier to meet the Second Empire's taste for this type of subject.
