Rue des Fontenelles has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
Auguste Louis Moreau was born in Dijon in 1834 and died in Malesherbes in 1917.
Auguste himself is particularly known for his Art Noveau style figures with his subjects being primarily young maidens sensuously clad in a swirling diaphanous dress and usually decorated with flowers and birds or allegorical and genre scenes incorporating cupids and young children. His style was realistic and graceful, revealing his relation to the other members of the Moreau family. In 1861 Moreau made his debut at the Salon where he would exhibit regularly until 1913.
