TERRACOTTA BUST LOUIS XV.

Jean-Baptiste II Lemoyne - after.
Date: Presumably 19th c.

Measurement: 38x32x21cm.

In the collection of the Musée national du château de Fontainebleau there is a bronze bust
of Louis XV by Jean-Baptiste II Lemoyne, which is very similar to the present bust. It is
signed and dated 1751 (inv. no. MR3371). They differ slightly in the posture of the head,
which appears somewhat more pensive in the present bust and is without a clearly raised
chin. The drapery and the collar also differ, but the model can still be clearly
identified.
