Catalogue Note
Sujet très prisé, L'Andromède a été réalisé par Robert le Lorrain (1666-1743) vers 1700 en bronze. Il expose la terre cuite au Salon de 1737. Peu de versions sont connus aujourd'hui, dont un bronze au musée du Louvre (inv. no. R.F. 3399), provenant de la collection Crozat, un autre appartenait jadis à Charles Cressent puis Bonnier de la Mosson, visible sur une peinture de Jacques de Lajoue (1686-1761).
