Catalogue Note
Gustave-Joseph Chéret studied sculpture under the great nineteenth-century master Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse. Chéret joined the master's atelier and married Carrier-Belleuse's daughter, Marie. As an accomplished creator of decorative arts as well as sculpture, he was perfectly placed to succeed his father-in-law as artistic director of the Sèvres factory after Carrier-Belleuse died in 1887.
