RELATED LITERATURE :
Anne-Laure Huet, Madeleine Jouvray (1862-1935): une sculptrice au tournant du siècle, research paper under the direction of Claire Barbillon, Paris, École du Louvre, September 2016, vol. 2, presumed model listed under no. 37, p. 24
Madeleine Jouvray trained in the workshops of Auguste Rodin, whose practitioner she later became, and then of Alfred Boucher and Honoré Icard. She participated for the first time in the Salon des Artistes Français in 1889. Through the intermediary of the Master of Meudon, Madeleine Jouvray met the Rothschild family in 1886, then Juliette de Reinach in 1912 who supported her financially. Strongly influenced by the teaching she received and her acquaintances such as Camille Claudel, Jouvray's work is also part of the symbolist movement of the late 19th century. Our plaster could be the model of the bronze (today unlocated) Andromeda presented at the 1907 Salon under the number 1958. The bronze was bought by the State in 1910 and then deposited at the Centre National des Arts Plastiques in Paris.
