Mademoiselle Mars
by DAVID d'Angers, Marble, height 60 cm
David’dAngers was not attracted to female models and although he makes a concession to the feminity of Mlle Mars by giving her an elegant coiffure, crowned with a wreath of everlasting flowers, he cuts off the bust like e herm (a harsh treatment usually reserved for men) to concentrate on the animated physiognomy with mouth open as if the actress was on the stage.
