JEAN-BAPTISTE CARPEAUX (FRENCH, 1827-1875): A WAX PORTRAIT RELIEF OF MME. ARMANDE DIEUDE-DEFLY (1785-1875) of circular form, the lady wearing a ribbon-tied bonnet, with plaster infill to the reverse, 19cm diameter This wax relief is Carpeaux's original working model. From it he made a plaster cast from which he could cast versions in bronze. A plaster version, presumably from this wax original, is in the Musee de Valenciennes (signed, Val.1927-9) and terracotta version is in the Musee d'Orsay (signed, and with the Carpeaux cachet, RF2943) and the Musee des Beaux-Arts Jules Cheret, Nice. The bronze founder A.A. Hebrard later cast another bronze edition, an example of one of these casts was sold at Sotheby's, Paris, 'The Collection de la Baronne Eugene de Rothschild', 31 March 2004, lot 259. Madame Defly was the 'dame lectrice' (tutor) to Princess Mathilde Bonaparte between 1856-1870.
