介绍（中）	18世纪下半叶，在天赋异禀的法国雕塑家Clodion手中，这尊陶俑雕像作为一件独立的艺术品达到了顶峰。这对令人愉快的未注明日期的陶俑体现了Clodion对古埃及艺术的兴趣，这始于他职业生涯的早期，1762年至1771年间他住在罗马。这尊男性雕像是以两个著名的古代原型为原型的——梵蒂冈的安蒂诺伊斯·奥西里斯头像和卢浮宫的拉美西斯二世即位雕像——而女性雕像则通过其希腊服装和埃及风格的发型和姿势，以类似的方式融合了古典元素
介绍（英）	The terracotta statuette reached its zenith as a standalone work of art in the second half of the eighteenth century at the hand of the superbly gifted French sculptor, Clodion. This delightful pair of undated terracottas exemplifies Clodion's interest in the art of ancient Egypt, which began early in his career, when he lived in Rome between 1762 and 1771. The male figure was modeled after two well-known ancient prototypes -the head of Antinoiis Osiris (Vatican), and the enthroned figure of Ramses II (Louvre) -while the female figure fuses classical references in a similar fashion through her Grecian costume and Egyptian-inspired hairstyle and pose. In their rigid poses, Clodion' s Egyptian figures lack the buoyant movement and subtle sensuality typical of his beloved bacchante subjects. Yet this pair exhibits the artist's characteristic whimsicality in their many eccentric details. The comical inelegance of their tilted postures (as he leans left and she leans right), the exaggerated musculature of the male figure, and the animate faces of the lions undermine the formality of the hieratic types. These deftly modeled statuettes translate the language of Egyptian classicism into a playful pastiche intended for the amusement and admiration of Clodion's sophisticated international clientele.
