## Commentary

In Clodion&#39;s groups sometimes it is violent impetuosity that hurls the bodies along, with flying hair and breathless faces; but at other times the tempo is gentle, even wistful: the figures are an enchanted, eternally youthful, family moving amid the scattered grapes, coming as if from some &#39;vendange,&#39; sated with autumnal fullness.
