Catalogue Note
Ce buste peut être rapproché de celui d'une Jeune Fille à la couronne de roses du même artiste et dépendant de la collection de Madame Ruff-Toporkoff (Joseph-Charles Marin Sculpteur, op. cit., p.24). Nous y retrouvons certaines caractéristiques propres à Marin telles que l'abondante chevelure ondulante, les yeux mi-clos, une petite bouche aux commissures marquées et un visage tout en rondeur.
