Maiden, 1585–94, French, possibly Sedan, Bronze, H. (without base): 8 1/4 in., 4lb. (21 cm, 1.8144kg), Sculpture-Bronze, Barthélemy Prieur (French, Berzieux ca. 1536–1611 Paris), These are the most widely replicated of Prieur’s statuettes. There is an implicit contrast between social types, that of the fashionable gentleman holding gloves and that of the simple but chic countrywoman lifting her skirt while offering an apple (in some cases a basket is slung over her same left arm)
