The present sculpture exists in two versions: the present scarcer version with full shoulders and partial torso and a second version with partial shoulders and reduced torso "Following Houdon's plaster bust of Gluck shown in the Salon of 1775 . the marble was exhibited in 1777 . and destroyed in the fire at the Paris Opera 28-29 Oct. 1873. A faithful reproduction ordered in 1798 by Alexandre Lenoir for the Musée des monuments français and executed in marble by Guillaume Francin is in the Musée national du chateau de Versailles. The Louvre's plaster cast workshop distributed copies of this reproduction beginning in 1864." Poulet et al.: Jean-Antoine Houdon - Sculptor of the Enlightenment. Exhibition Catalogue. The National Gallery of Art Washington D.C. 2003 p. 107. "The present bust is probably one of the Louvre's copies. . It was in his depiction of Gluck that Houdon first showed the ravages of smallpox on a subject - it was a common affliction in eighteenth-century France but artists were expected to flatter their subjects in this respect at least." Bonhams catalogue "Gluck was an artist a great musician and therefore must be given the attributes of a genius. His face was deeply pockmarked and the sculptor used this fact to establish his theme. He clothed him in a heavy coat whose texture is an overall pattern of slashed grooves free and direct in their expressive impact. Here there was no attempt to stimulate the appearance of the actual material but rather in a manner almost Rodinesque to bring out the quality of the clay. The open shirt the unbuttoned vest the short disheveled hair and the alert titled pose of the head all emphasize the impact of genius." Arnason: The Sculptures of Houdon p. 34. unknown
