Claudine Houdon, troisième fille de l'artiste
Description
Jean-Antoine Houdon est considéré comme l’un des plus grands sculpteurs français du XVIIIe siècle. Reconnu pour ses talents de portraitiste, il a plusieurs fois choisi ses enfants comme modèles. En 1791, il représente sa fille cadette, Antoinette-Claude Houdon, dite Claudine, à l'âge de huit ou dix mois. Avec le "Buste de Sabine à l’âge de quatre ans" de 1791 (collection particulière), il s'agit d’un des rares portraits de ses enfants que Houdon représente portant un vêtement, les autres ayant une découpe nue arrondie au niveau des épaules, à l'instar de leur mère.
