Houdebine Paris;Sculpture depicting a standing woman dressed in an antique flowing robe, with a young man looking on, kneeling at her feet and scattering plants, wearing a hat and supported by a wooden stick decorated with ears.The title of the sculpture - adopted from the artist's literature - is a free inspiration / distant reference by him to Nicolas Poussin's work "Et in Arcadia ego" (1638-1640, Louvre).The depicted sculpture echoes the reflection on the passing of the beauty of the image of nature, an idyllic moment.The Parisian foundry Houdebine et Cie. was founded in 1845 by Henri Houdebine.
