拍品专文

The guardian Egyptian sphinx is theatrically presented as a fine French lady in mid-18th century fashion. The design relates to a drawing attributed to Nicolas Coustou in the Cabinet of Drawings at the Stockholm Museum, thought to be a preliminary sketch for the lead figures of sphinxes which were placed on the terrace of the Royal Pavilion at Marly.
