Presumed portrait of the grandmother of painter Paul Delaroche (1797- 1856)
Terracotta bust
30 cm high
Bears an old label under the pedestal: grandmother of Paul Delaroche: Mme J. H Delaroche/ grandmother of Paul Delaroche / or ... G. Moreau/ mother of... Le Jeune
Taking into account the provenance of the work and the old label underneath, this realistic portrait could be that of the painter Paul Delaroche's grandmother. It is worth noting that Paul Delaroche also tried his hand at sculpture, particularly for family portraits.
Expert: Cabinet Lacroix Jeannest
provenance: Delaroche-Vernet family
