À propos de la sculpture
This bust was made by Aimé-Jules Dalou (also known as Jules Dalou) in London in 1876. It is possibly a portrait of the artist's daughter Georgette (1867-1915). Of numerous bronze versions, one is in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris (RF3951), and another is in the William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow, London. Both of these are signed and dated 1876. A terracotta version is in a private collection.

Dalou (1838-1902) was the son of a glove maker and initially trained in drawing at the Petit École in Paris. There he was encouraged to produce sculpture. In 1854 he entered the École des Beaux-Arts, where he trained for four years. He was known for his left-wing political views and was involved in the establishment of the Paris Commune in 1871. As a result, he was forced into exile in London, where he lived from 1871 until his return to Paris in 1879. In London he frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy and he was given a teaching appointment at the National Art Training School in South Kensington (later the Royal College of Art), where he had a profound effect on the development of British sculpture. The V&A has a number of his sculptures from his time in England.
