拍品专文

The present figure of La Frileuse, otherwise known as L'Hiver, is a late 19th Century cast of the model exhibited by Houdon (d.1828) at the Paris Salon of 1791 and subsequently bought by the King of Prussia. This model is a more sentimental variation of that of the same title executed in marble in 1783, which together with it's pendant, L'Eté was given to the Musée de Montpellier in 1828.
