Cookie entitled "Sapho à la colonne", after Jean-Jacques (known as James) Pradier, a famous French sculptor, winner of numerous awards, academician and knight of the Legion of Honor, and known for his neoclassical work.
In this work, Sapho, a lyrical poetess from ancient Greece, is depicted standing, leaning on an Ionic column. In one hand she holds a turtle-shell baritone, a musical instrument that accompanied her in her poetic songs. She is adorned with jewels and wears a beautiful tunic in the antique style.
The signature "J.Pradier 1848" is engraved on the column.
In praise of femininity, "Sapho à la colonne" is also an ode to poetry.
