"La Femme Au Serpent," also known as "Woman with a Snake," is a renowned sculpture created by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Auguste Clésinger in 1847. Clésinger, born in 1814, was a prominent sculptor and painter of the 19th century, known for his realistic and often provocative works. This particular sculpture is a striking example of his ability to blend classical themes with a sensual, almost scandalous, modernity.

The sculpture depicts a reclining nude woman entwined with a snake, a motif that evokes both classical mythology and contemporary fascination with the exotic and the erotic. The figure is rendered with meticulous attention to anatomical detail, showcasing Clésinger's skill in capturing the human form. The woman's pose is both languid and dynamic, suggesting a state of both repose and tension as the snake coils around her body. This interplay between the human and the serpentine creates a sense of movement and drama, drawing the viewer's eye across the sculpture.

"La Femme Au Serpent" was first exhibited at the Salon of 1847, where it caused a considerable stir. The realistic depiction of the female form, complete with dimples and cellulite, was both praised and criticized for its boldness. Some contemporaries found the work scandalous, while others admired its unflinching realism and technical mastery. The sculpture is often discussed in the context of 19th-century attitudes towards the female body and the shifting boundaries of acceptable artistic expression.

Today, "La Femme Au Serpent" is considered one of Clésinger's masterpieces and is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. It continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination, embodying the tensions between tradition and innovation, beauty and provocation, that characterize much of 19th-century art.
