Provenance
Footnote:
After his crowned achievement at the Paris Salon of 1881, bronze reproductions of Alfred Boucher's works were increasingly distributed, such as this example of La Pensée. The original marble composition was displayed at the Petit Palais during the late 19th or early 20th century. A second marble iteration of the work currently resides in the collection of the Musée Camille Claudel.
