Bust of the nymph on the left in the famous Hommage à Jean Goujon, the artist's masterpiece. Group created in 1925 and presented at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs in front of the Ruhlmann pavilion, known as the Pavillon du Collectionneur. This monumental work was a great success and launched Janniot's career. Many of the details of this group were used as autonomous works, the fragments becoming decorative interior sculptures.
