Description
Sauvage’s name was synonymous with trompe l’oeil (fool the eye) paintings that imitated low relief ancient sculpture and became hugely popular for Neoclassical room decoration. The present painting is meant to imitate bronze. Sauvage exhibited a slightly larger version of this subject at the Salon of 1781. Another version is also at The Met.
