A Sleeping Shepherd

by VASSÉ, Louis-Claude, Marble, height 71 cm

Vass�’s morceau de reception of a Sleeping Shepherd, presented in 1751, reveals a general indebtedness to Bouchardon accompanied by a sentimental slackness. The pose is too contrived to be convincing. The statue derives from antique prototypes which he reduces and frankly prettifies.
