This is the portrait of Anna Foucart, eldest daughter of Jean-Baptiste Foucart, a close friend of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. Carpeaux painted the young girl in 1860 and reused the model several times, adapting it for Rieuse napolitaine in 1863 and Rieuse aux roses in 1872. Here, the emphasis is on traditional Neapolitan costume, as a counterpart to the bust of Le Rieur napolitain, one of the Valenciennes sculptor's greatest successes.
