Sculptor of mythological subjects, Henri Peinte (1845-1912) was a student of Duret and Cavelier.
He exhibited for the first time at the 1877 Salon and won a third class medal and the Salon Prize with a statue of Sarpedon.
This is Henri Peinte's best-known work, noticed that same year by the art critics Charles Tardieu, Henri Houssaye and Paul Mantz, and made for a public garden in Cambrai, where it was installed in 1878.
A bronze reduction of Sarpedon won him a Grand Prix at the 1889 World's Fair, the same year he was awarded the Legion of Honor.
Our sculpture is one of the reductions made in the same year as the one in the public garden in Cambrai and exhibited in 1889 in Paris.
The original plaster model is currently in the Musée des Beaux-arts in Coulommiers. Several bronze editions are in the Musée des Beaux-arts in Rouen. This piece has an attribution mark,
