BOSIO, François-Joseph
(b. 1768, Monaco, d. 1845, Paris)

Bust of Josephine

c. 1809
Plaster, height 72 cm
Private collection

This bust belongs the artist's best works because of the daintiness of the model, the elegance of the pose and the refinement of the coiffure. The gracious bust was made to look younger owing to the neoclassical demand for idealization.
