This enchanting group is a rare marble by a sculptor whose work survives primarily in bronze. Eugène Marioton studied under Dumont, Bonnasieux and Thomas. He exhibited at the Salon regularly from 1882, winning a bronze medal in both 1889 and 1900. He specialised in allegories, genre figures and mythological scenes.
