Twee terracotta sculpturen van Europa die wordt opgetild door een stier en een Amazone before 1857

This photograph by Marcel Gustave Laverdet, taken before 1857, depicts two terracotta sculptures. The top sculpture shows a female figure, possibly Europe, being lifted by a bull. The bottom sculpture shows a female figure, possibly an Amazon, riding a bull. These sculptures, though their exact location and context are unknown, offer a glimpse into the artistic practices of the time and provide valuable insight into the subject matter and the artistic style prevalent during the mid-19th century. The photograph captures the details of these sculptures with remarkable clarity, highlighting the sculptor's skill in capturing the form and movement of the figures.
