In 1906, when the present sculpture was created, Rembrandt Bugatti was 22 years old. Several photographs portray him
in his studio, surrounded by his animal sculptures and female models. ‘Jeunesse’ embodies the natural nudity of its sitter in all
its sumptuous splendor and perfectly captures her youth.

The grand scale of this figure, unmatched in Rembrandt Bugatti’s oeuvre among the rare female nudes he modeled in 1906 and 1907, was cast as a unique piece in bronze by one the greatest foundries of all time, Adrien Aurélien Hébrard. In 1925, Rembrandt’s brother, the noted automaker Ettore Bugatti acquired it from the A.A. Hébrard gallery.
