La Joueuse de Boules

Jean-Léon Gérôme - La Joueuse de Boules (enhanced)I chanced upon this graphic of a lovely bronze statuette yesterday while searching for Jean-Léon Gérôme's Study of a Dog. You can just make out the signature J L Gerome on the base. It's called La Joueuse de Boules, which Alta Vista's Babel Fish translated into "The Player of Balls"! I guess she just dropped one. To me she looks like a slimmer trying to see if her bum has lost any weight. (I really must try to be more arty.) If you're interested in Gérôme's sculptures, search for his Corinth.
