Lot Essay


Albert-Ernest Carrier de Belleuse was one of the most important and innovative sculptors of nineteenth-century France. He trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, debuted at the Salon in 1851, and was notably a teacher of Auguste Rodin. He worked for Doulton, Minton and other English companies and became the artistic director at the Sèvres manufactory from 1875, remaining there until his death in 1887.
