Height Height : 35 cm Related work : - Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Le pêcheur napolitain, 1857, first proof in patinated plaster, H. 89, 5 cm, Valenciennes, Musée des Beaux-Arts, inv. S.90.10.

SA 11, p. 64. Inspired by a young Neapolitan he met on the beach in Naples in 1856 and created in Rome a year later, this iconic work by Carpeaux is also a tribute to his teachers Rude and Duret, who also treated the subject in the 1830s. The anecdotal subject is imbued with a lively, cheerful naturalism that breathes new life into nineteenth-century sculpture. Expert : Cabinet LACROIX & JEANNEST
