Sobre a escultura
This is a sketch model (hence the rough surface), modelled by Aimé-Jules Dalou in about 1875 for a larger sculpture and several of these appear to have been made. One, a lifesize terracotta, is now in the Manchester City Art Gallery.

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 study and create sculpture. In 1854 he entered the École des Beaux-Arts, where he trained for four years. He was known for his left-wing political sympathies and was involved in the establishment of the Paris Commune in 1871 after which 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.
