Description
English: Nymph with a shell. Marble, 1685. Variation after Ma 18, a Roman statue then in the Borghese collection, now exhibited in the Department of Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities in the Louvre--which was in its turn a copy after the Hellenistic type of the knucklebones player. Coysevox's statue is one of a series of copies after the antique commissioned in 1683 by Louis XIV to decorate the park of Versailles.
Français : Nymphe à la coquille. Marbre, 1685. Variante de Ma 18, une statue romaine qui se trouvait alors dans la collection Borghèse, et qui figure aujourd'hui dans le Département des antiquités grecques, étrusques et romaines du musée du Louvre. Ma 18 est elle-même une copie du type hellénistique de la joueuse d'osselets. La statue de Coysevox appartient à une série de copies d'antiques commandée en 1683 par Louis XIV pour décorer le parc de Versailles.
