專家說明

With its title meaning joy or mirth in French, Bessie Potter Vonnoh's Allegresse is an exuberant sculpture inspired by images of the Three Graces of antiquity and modeled after the poses of professional dancers. The work was awarded the Elizabeth N. Watrous Gold Medal of the National Academy of Design in 1921, allowing the artist to join her husband Robert Vonnoh as a full member of the Academy.

Other examples of Allegresse are in the collections of the Detroit Institute of Art, Detroit, Michigan, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
