Catalogue Note
Sujet tiré du groupe de La Danse ornant la façade de l'Opéra, cette esquisse des Trois Grâces montre trois Bacchantes, au lierre, aux roses et au laurier, se tenant à la main pour faire la ronde autour du Génie. Le sujet grandeur nature a été édité par Susse après la mort de l'artiste en terre cuite, bronze et marbre.
