Catalogue Note
Charles, le fils de Carpeaux, tombe malade en 1872 et aura ainsi la fonction d'un trait d'union entre le couple dont les relations s'étaient dégradées ces dernières années. A partir de cette terre cuite originale, la famille Carpeaux réalisera des tirages posthumes en bronze (Lot 42). Une autre version est conservée au Petit Palais.
