Catalogue Note
Pierre Julien (1731-1804) modelled his Amaltaea (the Goat Girl) in 1787. This marble group, a version of the Beauty and the Beast, was originally part of the decoration for the dairy at Rambouillet, which Julien sculpted for Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette on the eve of the French Revolution.
