The Bread Carrier at The Petit Palais, Paris

The bread carrier was a job primarily given to women at the end of the 19th Century. The job would be to carry bread home multiple times a day. The women would carry the bread either in a cart or winin a large blue apron. This is a sculpture depicting a typical 'porteuse de pain' (bread carrier), sculpted by French artist Jules Félix Coutan (Paris, 1848-1939). This piece in the 'Courbet and Realism' section of the Petit Palais is a plaster cast of 1882 used a a replacement from an original bronze statue in the square of Saint-Jacques in Paris, destroyed in 1942.
Jules-Félix Coutain was a French sulptor and educator, who studied at The École des Beaux-Arts and was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1872. After his return to Paris he executed the fountain group France Bearing the Torch of Civilization for the Exposition Universelle (1889), one of the two prominent sculptural commissions for the Exposition grounds. A realist sculptor, he later expressed his disdain for the researches of Rodin and the impressionist sculptors who followed him whilst teaching at The Écolde des Beaux-Arts from 1900.
