So she is usually, as here, shown with a cup in her hand. Here she also holds a wine vessel in her left hand. This white marble statue is French, and is a work after Jacques-François-Joseph Saly (1717-76). In fact it is a reproduction of a statue commissioned by Mme de Pompadour, the mistress of Louis XV, for the Chateau de Bellevue, built for her in 1750. The model for this statue was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1753 and the statue was much copied in the second half of the eighteenth century.","physicalDescription":"Statue. White marble. Hebe.
