The French sculptor, Claude Michel, called Clodion (1738 -1814), frequently depicts children in his sculpture, in this case a convincing toddler, from her pout to her plump toes.  The piece is constructed in terracotta, a common medium for Clodion. After firing, the unglazed color of the clay can vary widely, thus each of Clodion's statues has a slightly different hue.  The figure has sustained a number of damages, but has recently been cleaned and repaired.</div>
