The bust derives from a masterpiece of children's portraiture by Jean-Antoine Houdon: the *Bust of Louise Brongniart (1772-1845)* in terracotta created in 1777 and conserved in the Louvre Museum. Houdon's busts of Louise and her brother Alexandre, children of the architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart, were very popular in the 19th and 20th centuries; they were abundantly reproduced.
