ARISTIDE MAILLOL Femme Debout se Coiffant<>.
Bronze with dark brown patina, circa 1900-05. 390 mm; 15¼ inches (height including base). With the artist's monogram on the top of the base. Published by Vollard, Paris, and cast later.
According to Johnson, Vollard did not adhere to Maillol's request to limit the editions of his sculpture to 10 or fewer. Instead, Vollard kept an example of each bronze Maillol produced at his gallery and, when a collector showed interest in a work, he ordered a cast made. Therefore, later casts of Maillol's sculptures are prevalent and edition numbers are difficult to ascertain. See George, Maillol<>, Paris, 1971, p. 94 (another cast illustrated) and George, Aristide Maillol<>, New York, 1977, no. 173 (another cast illustrated).
