Stake attention in this memory
The image displays two white marble sculptures of infants, presented within a glass display case at the Musée du Louvre-Lens in Lens, France. Both sculptures rest on a white plinth. The left sculpture, identified as "La Fillette à l'oiseau et à la pomme" (The Girl with the Bird and the Apple), dated 1764, depicts a nude, bald infant seated and looking downwards with a slight smile, appearing to interact with objects on its irregular base. The right sculpture, identified as "L'Enfant à la cage" (The Child with the Cage), also dated 1764, shows a nude, bald infant seated with its left hand near its face and holding a small, rectangular wooden cage in its right hand. The background, visible through the reflective glass, reveals a spacious, modern museum gallery. Reflections within the glass include a tall, dark, anthropomorphic statue on a pedestal, a distant group of approximately five to seven individuals (one wearing a red jacket), and a framed painting. A partially visible informational plaque in French beneath the display case identifies Jean-Baptiste Pigalle as the artist for both works.
