Lot Note:
La Joueuse de Cerceau is a variant of a similar figurine modelled for Gérôme's marble statue of Tanagra now housed in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.

For his iconic 1890 work in bronze, Tanagra, he models the figure holding a figure of La Joueuse de Cerceau in her hand.
