Unlike many of his contemporaries, Pradier oversaw the finish of his sculptures himself. He was a friend of the Romantic poets Alfred de Musset, Victor Hugo, Théophile Gautier, and the young Gustave Flaubert, and his atelier was a centre, presided over by his beautiful mistress, Juliette Drouet, who became Hugo's mistress in 1833.
