This terracotta sculpture, "Egyptian Goddess," was created by Claude Michel, known as Clodion, in 1780. The figure, with her arms crossed and serene expression, sits upon a draped base, hinting at an Egyptian goddess, possibly Isis. The piece exemplifies the Neoclassical style, popular in the late 18th century, which looked back to the art of ancient Greece and Rome. This sculpture, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a testament to Clodion’s mastery of the genre.
