Sale : Hôtel Drouot, Paris, March 25, 1982, lot 56 Sale : Hôtel Drouot, Paris, December 15, 1982, lot 67 Private collection, France (purchased at above sale) - Acquired by current owner in 1988 In a commentary on the marble work in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Reims, Marie Hélène Montout-Richard, chief curator, writes: "The model is certainly Rose Beuret, the artist's companion since 1864, unless it is the memory - sometimes evoked but not confirmed - of a young child seen in 1863 in a procession in Strasbourg. Exhibited in 1883 in the galleries of the L'Art magazine on Place de l'Opéra in Paris, the work was described as a "pretty marble dream". Indeed, in addition to its underlying patriotic significance, the figure's main appeal lies in the melancholy it exudes. This mingled sense of nostalgia, combined with the softness and whiteness of the marble, is reinforced by the costume's meticulous lacework. The typical Alsatian headdress, generally recognizable by its rigid knot-like shape, has been judiciously softened here. It caresses the child's head like a protective hand. L'Orpheline Alsacienne, sometimes called Petite Alsacienne or Jeune Alsacienne, was first exhibited in Brussels in 1871, shortly after Rodin's arrival in Belgium. He then spent six years of his youth criss-crossing Flanders in the company of Rose Beuret. There, he studied local art and copied the great masters. This period marked his true affirmation as an artist. Once he achieved fame, he would describe these as "the happiest days of (his) life". Among the thirty or so works presented at fifteen exhibitions, this sculpture was the most successful; the first work to be accepted by a jury (in Ghent, Salon of 1871), it was exhibited several times in different materials (marble, plaster or terracotta). Some differences are apparent in the arrangement of the head, more or less sunken in the drape of the cloak covering the shoulders, the ornaments of the the bow, and the fringed sides. This depiction of a doll-like, melancholy little girl is all the more appealing as its title places it in the imagery recently created by France's loss of Alsace and Lorraine. Presented with an Alsatian headdress, it pays homage to these lost provinces. Critics rave: "a delightful little Alsatian" (Gazette de Bruxelles), "made from nothing, like a pencil sketch, and which many poor devils envy to Charles Buls who acquired it" (La chronique), "exquisitely naive and graceful with its large silk bow placed on the forehead like a butterfly spreading its wings" (L'Écho). In a word, "it's naiveté with grace. The ravishing head of a little girl" (Sulzberger). Exhibited in February 1883, in the salons of "L'Art", Place de l'Opéra, on the occasion of the tombola for the flood victims of Alsace-Lorraine, L'Orpheline Alsacienne was noticed and described as "a pretty marble dream" (Jacques de Biez). Note the difference between the plaster casts and terracottas with the head upright, and the marbles where the head has been tilted over the shoulder, enhancing the figure's sorrowful appearance. The reference marble is in the Musée Rodin (H. 38.5 cm).

[BONAPARTE (Louis Napoléon)]. Cour des Pairs. Attack of August 6, 1840. Réquisitoires et répliques de M. Franck Carré, procureur général du Roi. Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1840. In-4, 44 pp. Bradel, dark blue half-percaline, title page in red marble (late 19th c. binding). Requisitions and reply by the procureur général in the Cour des Pairs trial of the failed coup attempt at Boulogne-sur-mer. "On the night of August 5 to 6, 1840, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte landed with some fifty conspirators near Boulogne-sur-Mer. Taking the town, the sub-prefecture and the town hall would require too many troops. The conspirators decided to go to the barracks of the 40th infantry regiment to ask for reinforcements. The attempt failed. Forced to flee, Louis-Napoléon and a few accomplices boarded a canoe to reach their boat. Gunfire broke out, the Prince was wounded, the canoe capsized and the fugitives were rescued. [...] He is sentenced to life imprisonment in the fortress of Ham [...]. He escaped after six years' imprisonment. He returned to London until the revolution of 1848, when he became the first President of the French Republic, on December 10, 1848. The Boulogne-sur-Mer conspiracy followed a first attempt in Strasbourg on October 30, 1836. Louis-Napoléon hoped to raise the garrison and march on Paris to overthrow the July monarchy. It was an immediate failure, and the prince and his accomplices were arrested. At the request of Louis-Napoléon's mother, Queen Hortense, King Louis-Philippe convinced the government to let the prince leave for the United States, where he landed on March 30, 1837. Meanwhile, his accomplices were tried before the Strasbourg Assize Court, and acquitted by the jury on January 18, 1837, to public acclaim. Although this attempt was a failure, it did enable him to make a name for himself in France, and to be associated with his uncle in Bonapartist imagery." Senate.
