Sobre la escultura
The French sculptor Edmé Bouchardon (1698–1762), worked in Paris and was also in Rome for ten years. He generally worked in a classical style seen here in his portrait of Louis XV of France, which is signed and dated 1738. The V&A has a related portrait of the Dauphin by Bouchardon (Museum number A.190-1969), signed and dated 1745.
According to a contemporary account of Bouchardon and his works (given in a posthumous 'Eloge Historique' to the Academy of Painting on 4 September 1762, by his admirer and friend Comte de Caylus), bronze medallions of Louis XV and the Dauphin were commissioned by comte de Maurepas for his château at Pontchartrain, and the King sat in order for Bouchardon to draw a portrait study which was used for medals, coins, and also a medallion portrait in bronze. The portraits of the King and Dauphin were subsequently unrecorded, but may well be those now at the V&A.
