Lot Essay

Probably an unused project for sculpture at Versailles. A drawing in the Louvre of a woman to the right of a rearing horse seems to have been designed as a pendant to the Mercury and Pegasus, J. Guiffrey and P. Marcel, Inventaire gnral des Dessins du Muse du Louvre et du Muse de Versailles, Paris, 1913, VIII, no. 6019
