Catalogue Note
Crée par Carpeaux en 1863, le Rieur Napolitain est une adaptation du Jeune Pêcheur à la coquille (1857) sous forme de buste et sans coquille. Sujet suscitant un grand succès, Carpeaux décide de son vivant d'éditer le modèle. Cinq versions en marbre figuraient dans les ventes d'atelier de l'artiste en 1873 (n°11) et 1874 (n°4), appartenant ensuite entre autres aux collections de S.L.Vaudoyer, F. Ochse et Edouard André (sa vente, 8 février 1887, n° 47).
