Note : This portrait, of which a first version in marble was presented at the Salon of 1781, would represent Anne AUDÉOUD, daughter of a Genevan banker. It is part of a body of work by HOUDON whose theme is the child's face. The artist took among others as models his three daughters, Sabine, Anne-Ange and Claudine. Because of the success of this type of portraits during their presentation at the Salon, HOUDON had several copies made in his studio in plaster, terracotta and marble with variations in the cut, the costume and the hairstyle.
