專家說明

This sculpture was first exhibited at the Salon of 1896 under the title Fate and the Convalescent. It was also known as The Grandmother's Kiss. According to John Tancock, "La Jeunesse triomphante, is a combination of two figures originally conceived separately. The seated female figure is that of The Helmet-Maker's Wife while the figure of the young girl probably...from the Gates of Hell is used in a number of other compositions" (op. cit., p. 225).
