This gilt bronze sculpture by Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot from c. 1819, depicts a kneeling female figure, representing the allegory of Abundance, holding a large vase. The sculpture is a prime example of the Neoclassical style, popular in France during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This style was characterized by its emphasis on classical Greek and Roman motifs, as seen in the figure's drapery and the vase's form. The sculpture is also notable for its intricate detailing and high quality craftsmanship. The work is mounted on a rectangular base with a decorative band and four feet. This sculpture is an outstanding example of Odiot's highly regarded goldsmithing skill and artistic flair.
Comments
A confidante of the Russian empress commissioned this 140-piece service, several items of which are displayed here. Silversmith Odiot, the painter Prud’hon and the architect Cavelier proudly presented the new models at the 1819 French national exhibition of decorative art. Notable are the kneeling angels supporting the soup tureen, which are characteristic of the late Empire style.
