Sculpture in terra cotta, representing Erigone called the autumn, after Clodion (1738-1814). She holds in her left hand a bunch of grapes and bears a Clodion signature. XIXth century (some chips) H : 51,5 cm Erigone is the daughter of Icarios the Athenian, to whom Dionysus had taught the art of the culture of the vine. She was loved by the god who, to seduce her, transformed himself into a bunch of grapes.
