EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Clodion's masterpiece, "La Gimblette (terracotta)". The terracotta sculpture, measuring 37x36x22 cm, is housed in the prestigious Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. In this enchanting artwork, we witness a young girl engaging in playful mischief with her loyal canine companion. The title refers to a small biscuit or pastry that adds an element of charm and whimsy to the scene. Clad in the fashion of the 18th century, the reclining female figure exudes sensuality and elegance. Her supple form rests upon a cushioned sheet while her exposed breasts hint at an underlying eroticism prevalent during that era. The artist masterfully captures both innocence and allure as he portrays this idyllic moment between human and animal. The puppy playfully interacts with its mistress as she reclines on a pillow, surrounded by elements synonymous with luxury and comfort. This exquisite piece transports us back to the XVIIIth century when nudity was celebrated for its artistic beauty rather than being seen through modern lenses of prudishness. It serves as a testament to Clodion's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to evoke emotions through his art. Bridgeman Images has impeccably preserved this historical gem for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its timeless appeal.
