The interlocked initials possibly relate to the 18th century sculptor Robert Le Lorrain. The style of this piece however relates more to Jean-Joseph Foucou (1739-1815), a pupil of Caffieri and a contemporary of Clodion, an Acadamecian and a regular contributor to the Salons from 1779-1815. Foucou's choice of subject matter (mythological and allegorical female figures) is parallel to Clodion's.
A similar marble figure of a nymph, attributed to Foucou, and of nearly identical size, sold Christie's New York, 10 January 1995, lot 52.
