Large chamotte sculpture of a female couple, by Léon Ernest Drivier ( 1878-1951).
Sculptures in clay offer a wealth of creative possibilities.
Léon-Ernest Drivier was a French sculptor and illustrator. He entered the École des Beaux-Arts, and from 1907 worked in Auguste Rodin's studio. In 1918, he created the official bust of "La France victorieuse".
In 1923, Drivier was one of the founders of the Salon des Indépendants. Along with his elders Pompon, Bourdelle, Bernard and Despiau (all, like him, Rodin assistants), and his juniors Wlérick, Janniot, Osouf and Dejean, Drivier became one of the leaders of modern French sculpture, receiving numerous private and public commissions, both decorative and monumental.
