The sculpture depicts a father carrying his son as he struggles against the waves to find a higher elevation. Clodion intentionally selected the heroic subject matter in an attempt to secure a commission from the new consular government of France, headed by Napoleon Bonaparte. Although he earned a first-class medal for his works, the commission never materialized, and the original plaster has disappeared.http://collections.mfa.org/objects/58921/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/856773/resize%3Aformat%3DfullHead of a Woman1909Pablo PicassoBronzeBronze, cast by Vollard.
