Young Girl with Flowers in her Hair (Jeune fille aux fleurs dans les cheveux)
Brooklyn Museum photograph
Object Label
Rodin modeled this decorative bust while working in the studio of the Neo-Rococo sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse in the 1860s. It is one of several similar works from this era that demonstrate his attempt to capitalize on this eighteenth-century revival style, which flourished during the Second Empire (the reign of Napoleon III, 1852–70).
