Various pieces by French sculptor Charles-Henri-Joseph Cordier

"Woman from the French Colonies", 1861. Originally titled La Capresse des Colonies (The Goat Tender from the Colonies)

"Jewish Woman of Algiers", 1862.

"Bust after Seïd Enkess", 1848. The sitter is Seïd Enkess, a formerly enslaved Sudanese man from Darfur. Titled as Nègre de Timbouctou (Negro from Timbuktu).

"Bust of a Woman", 1851. Debuted under the title Négresse des colonies (Negress of the Colonies)

While women of colour, fashioned in white marble or coloured materials, were unusual subjects in nineteenth-century sculpture, there are significant examples of works representing them as erotically charged and bound slaves, sexualised Venuses, or a hybrid of both. These reveal conflicting attitudes towards race, sexuality, slavery and abolition. White male sculptors such as John Bell and Charles Cordier intended to bring the pathos of the institution of slavery to public attention, yet they nonetheless traded on the allure of illicit sexuality born of that same system. Many works in this gallery evoke both vixen and victim.

Charles Cordier (1827-1905); Eck et Durand (maker), African Venus, bronze, 1851. The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore / French sculpture census (1500-1960) in North American public collections

"Cordier submitted a plaster cast of the bust of an African visitor to Paris to the Salon of 1848, and two years later he again entered it as a bronze (Walters 54.2664). A young African woman served as the model for this companion piece in 1851. Regarded as powerful expressions of nobility and dignity, these sculptures proved to be highly popular: casts were acquired by the Museum of National History in Paris and also by Queen Victoria. The Walters' pair were cast by the Paris foundry Eck and Durand in 1852. These bronzes were esteemed by 19th-century viewers as expressions of human pride and dignity in the face of grave injustice."
