La Sève depicts Daphne at the moment she asked the Gods to turn her into a laurel tree to resist the advances of Apollo. Admired for its organic Art Nouveau-inspired form, the plaster model was exhibited to critical acclaim at the Paris Salon of 1893 and a marble Siot-Decauville cast La Sève.
François Raoul Larche studied at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1878, before debuting his work at the Société des Artistes Français in 1881, and exhibiting regularly at the Salon between 1884 and 1911. His work was acclaimed at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, where he was awarded the gold medal for sculpture.
