## Commentary

The Florentine Singer \(which the artist&#39;s notebooks allow us to relate to figures by Benozzo Gozzoli, Pinturicchio, and Lorenzo da Viterbo\) earned Dubois the &#39;médaille d&#39;honneur&#39; at the 1865 Salon. Highly representative, both in terms of its refined and pleasing appearance and in terms of the culture to which it refers, of a whole school of Second Empire sculpture, this was undoubtedly also one of the best-known works of the period.
