COYSEVOX, Antoine
(b. 1640, Lyon, d. 1720, Paris)

Louis XIV

c. 1686
Marble, height 74 cm
Wallace Collection, London

Coysevox most original works are his busts which belong mainly to the later part of his career. However, even his early busts, such as this in the Wallace Collection, are free in their movement and startling in the skill of their modelling.
