Louis Ernest Barrias (French, 1841-1905)

Jeune Fille de bou Saada
inscribed with signature 'L. Barrias' and founder's mark 'Susse frs. / Edt. a Paris' (on the base)
bronze with gold-brown patina
Height: 12in (30.5cm), on a 2in (5cm) red marble base

Footnotes

The model for this bronze was initially conceived by Barrias in 1890 as a life-size sculpture for the grave of the Orientalist painter Gustave Guillaumet, who died in 1887. For this work, Barrias found inspiration in Guillaumet's painting The Weavers of Bou Saada, but the delicate hand movement with which the girl spreads flowers onto Guillaumet's tomb was a typical motif occurring in Barrias' gracious Belle-Epoque works.
