Georges ENGRAND and Émile MULLER, Planter with Three Faces of a Young Women and a Monkey, circa 1896

This terracotta planter was made by Georges Engrand and Émile Muller around 1896. The sculptor Georges Engrand participated in the Salon from 1880 onwards, including with flower holders and vases in the vein of this planter. The Muller company, active in Ivry between 1854 and 1908, worked on ceramics applied to architecture and the production of ceramics based on models provided by artists. Émile Muller was involved in the renovation of architectural ceramics. The body of the planter is entirely camouflaged by the triple representation of the face of the same young woman. The faces are framed by abundant hair. They show slightly different expressions: the first two are smiling, while the third appears melancholic. On the right, a monkey tries to climb up the front edge of the planter, as if attempting to break into the sculpture. The work is signed by both artists. The model of this planter was likely presented at the 1896 Salon, based on the mention of a bronze vase titled “Masks and Monkeys”. This planter was produced in several copies. Additionally, Engrand reused the same iconography for the low-relief decoration of a pot holder.
