René Letourneur portrays his daughter Anne, aged two. He made this portrait in direct cut from pink Milan marble. Aware of the aesthetic value of his sculpture, he molded it so that he could publish it in bronze. The transposition into bronze highlights the work done in marble on the contrasts between the round, polished surfaces and those carved with a chisel.
