This terracotta bust, titled "Young Girl (Anne Audéoud of Geneva)", was created by renowned French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon, whose career spanned the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The bust captures the likeness of a young girl, Anne Audéoud, with delicate features and a thoughtful expression. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Houdon's work is known for its realism and technical mastery, particularly in portraiture, which is evident in this piece. This bust exemplifies the Neoclassical style that was prominent in the art world during Houdon’s lifetime, characterized by its emphasis on classical ideals of beauty and form.
