Catalogue Note
Dans la galerie du sculpteur Girardon se trouve un homme nu tenant une tête, décrit comme "modelé de terre de Rome par François Duquesnoy flamand". Ce bronze dérive de la statuette du Bourreau brandissant la tête de St Jean-Baptiste ornant un reliquaire à San Giovanni Decollato, à Rome.
