A rare Sèvres biscuit model of La Baigneuse modelled after Falconet, the bathing venus-like female figure scantily clad and stepping out of rushes into the water, modelled wearing a jewelled band around her arm, raised on a circular base.

First modelled by Falconet as a reduction of the marble sculpture now in the Louvre, exhibited at the Salon of 1757. See S Erikson and Geoffrey de Bellaigue, Sevres Porcelain, fig. 127 for the example in the Copenhagen Museum of Decorative Arts.
