Catalogue Note
Born in Italy, Emmanuel Villanis moved to Paris to become of the most prolific sculptors of his period, rendering hundreds of models, mostly feminine subjects. He began exhibiting at the Paris Salon in 1886 and, interestingly, scholars believe that each of his renderings of female sitters depicts his own daughter.
