The calm composure and majestic restraint in his nude bronzes identify Maillol as a true classicist. "L'Ile de France," a girl wading wading, represents his most often repeated female form whcih he considered the most ideal beauty. "Leda" an earlier work suggest even her name the heritage from antiquity.
