Earth ca. 1750-60 Probably by Jean-Pierre Defrance Lining the rusticated, arched facade of the Henry Kravis wing of the Museum are four larger-than-lifesize Allegories of the Elements, made of limestone (64.93.1-.4). Originally standing in the gardens of the Chteau de Mussegros near Ecouis in Normandy, the figures can be attributed on stylistic grounds to the sculptor Jean-Pierre Defrance (1694-1768) and are dated around 1750. Shown here is the allegorical figure of Earth, who holds a cornucopia in her left hand, while to her lower right a small child or putto holding a sickle in his hand offers her a freshly cut sheaf of wheat. The elegant poise of Earth and the sweeping, asymmetrical folds of her draperies are typical of garden statuary in the late Rococo style.. Earth 203014
