This is a sculpture of Napoleon's niece. The wall-label for this piece remarked that although it may be strange for a contemporary audience to see depictions of nude children, this was common throughout European art history.

His great patron was Napoleon, and it was Napoleon’s sister, Elisa, who recommended him for the post of director at the academy of sculpture in Carrara (where’s quarried the famous white marble); there he stayed until the fall of Napoleon, moving back to Florence where he survived largely thanks to commissions from foreign patrons.

The Monument to Nicola Demidoff in "Piazza Demidoff" square in Florence, Italy, was sculpted by Lorenzo Bartolini in 1830/50, and achieved because of his death by his pupil Pasquale Romanelli. It was inaugurated in 1870.
The monument was originally to have been placed in the family villa at San Donato, but Demidoff's son Paolo later bequeathed it to the City of Florence, which decided to place it in the square in which it now stands. The gardens laid out around the monument were interspersed with lime trees.
La Misericordia
Because of the delicate nature of the marble from which the were made, the statues soon began to deteriorate, and Giuseppe Martelli was commissioned to design the elegant iron and glass construction which still protects the monument.

Lorenzo Bartolini (7 January 1777 – 20 January 1850) was an Italian sculptor who infused his neoclassicism with a strain of sentimental piety and naturalistic detail which led him furthermore Romanticism, while he drew inspiration from the sculpture of the Florentine Renaissance rather than the overpowering influence of Antonio Canova that circumscribed his Florentine contemporaries.Bartolini was born in Vernio, near Prato, Tuscany.After studying at the Florentine Academy, honing his skills and reputation as a modeller in alabaster, he went in 1797 to Paris, where he studied painting under Frédéric Desmarais, and afterwards sculpture under François-Frédéric Lemot. The bas-relief Cleobis and Biton, with which he gained the second prize of the Academy in 1803, at once established his fame as a sculptor and gained for him a number of influential patrons. His bas-relief of the Battle of Austerlitz was among those executed for the column erected in Place Vendôme. He also executed many minor pieces for Vivant-Denon, besides portrait busts of the opera composers Méhul and Cherubini. His great patron, however, was Napoleon, for whom he executed a colossal bust, and who sent him, on the recommendations of his sister Elisa Baciocchi, to Accademia Carrara in Bergamo in 1807, to teach sculpture, in spite of local opposition. Here he remained as the quasi-official portrait sculptor to the Buonapartes till after the fall of Napoleon. He then took up his residence in Florence, where he resided till his death.
