About the Item

After Philippe-Laurent Roland (French, 1746-1816) Bust of a Young Man, 1772 Terra cotta set on painted wood pedestal Signed and dated at back 16.5 x 11 x 8 inches Philippe-Laurent Roland was a French sculptor. A native of Pont-à-Marcq, Nord, he died in Paris. His art is neoclassical in style; he worked a great deal in stone and in terra cotta. Some of his reliefs may be seen on the facade of the Louvre. The son of a tailor and innkeeper, Philippe-Laurent Roland began his training at the drawing school in Lille, in his native region. He had a younger brother, the painter Jacques-François-Joseph Roland (1757-1804). In 1764, he left for Paris and joined the studio of Augustin Pajou with whom he maintained a collaboration of nearly forty years. He then collaborated with him on the decoration of the Palace of Versailles and the Palais-Royal.
