Summary

Description

One of three rare views of Peinte's Orpheus, which seems to have been overshadowed by Verlet's version. It's unfortunate that this photo was in such poor quality. I previously stated that the location of the bronze was unknown, but it turns out I was wrong. It's actually in the Jardin Public in Cambrai, France, though there don't seem to be that many modern photos of it. See here and here; and I've found a couple of Flickr images of it here and here. If there's anyone reading this in the Cambrai region, could they please post some close-ups of it, preferably from multiple angles? Thank you.

Bronze statuettes of Orpheus turn up on auction sites occasionally, but they invariably hide his assets behind drapery.
