Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (French, 1824 - 1887), a sculpted terracotta bust of a maiden in Belle Epoque taste, her serene visage turned to sinister, her hair, loosely plaited and adorned with flowers, falling to her breasts, signed to the reverse; atop a glazed terracotta block, with ebonised wood socle, 73cm high overall, 35cm wide Provenance: previously with Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox Ltd of Bury Street, St James's, purchased there by the Gibbs family in 1987 CATALOGUE NOTES: A versatile and prolific sculptor, Carrier-Belleuse's career began as a goldsmith's apprentice. Over the course of his life he not only contributed monumental sculptures to landmark buildings such as the Paris Opera House, but also worked as a designer for porcelain manufactories in England and France, including Wedgwood, Minton and Sèvres. He was made an officer of the Legion d'Honneur in recognition of his efforts. Auguste Rodin famously worked in his successful studio as an assistant in the late 1860s and early 1870s. In addition to his architectural commissions and academic works for the Salon, Carrier-Belleuse created smaller terracottas and bronzes for the emerging middle class market, such as the present example. This bust may portray the French actress and comedian Sophie-Alexandrine Croizette (1847-1910), who is known to have inspired several of Carrier-Belleuse's 'bustes de fantaisie'. The floral adornments and youthful ease of the model's hair could indicate that she is represented in the guise of Spring, or Flora
