This pair is known in several versions, including those in the Liebieghaus in Frankfurt and the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum in Brunswick. It was made by the French sculptor Barthélémy Prieur (ca. 1536-1611).  From 1564 to 1567 Prieur worked in Turin as court sculptor to Duke Emanuel-Philibert of Savoy. In 1591, Henry IV appointed him as his Court Sculptor and as such he worked on the interior decoration of the Palais du Louvre, Paris. He was one of the most prolific French sculptors of bronze statuettes at the turn of the 17th century.","physicalDescription":"The young woman is shown with her left leg advanced and her head turned towards her left shoulder.
