COUSTOU, Guillaume II
(b. 1716, Paris, d. 1777, Paris)

Monument to the Dauphin

completed 1777
Marble
Cathedral, Sens

The detail of the monument to the Dauphin shows the back of Time and the sorrowing figure of Conjugal Love, perhaps carved by Coustou's pupil, Julien, and in itself anticipatory of Canova.
