Description Provenance Exhibitions Bibliography

The present plaster was exhibited with the title Fille et Chien at the Salon de la Societe’ des Beaux Arts of Paris in 1907. At the Museo del Paesaggio of Verbania is conserved a replica in plaster. During his career, Troubetzkoy often depicted children and animals. For the similarity of its facial traits, the dress and the long hair, the child depicted could be identified with Josefina, daughter of Matias Errazuriz Ortuzar, a Chilean diplomat (Frezzotti, 2017).
