Note du spécialiste

Representing a winged allegorical figure of twilight illuminating her lantern with two disputing putti at her feet, the present bronze is a reduction of a marble Émile André Boisseau showed at the Salon of 1883 (no. 3366) and which is today in the Palais de l’Élysée, the French presidential palace in Paris. Owing to the popularity of Boisseau’s Salon work, which was awarded a first class medal, La crépuscule was variously reproduced in marble and bronze.
