Which of the following best describes Jean-Antoine Houdon’s style?

Answer
A
realistic and statuesque
B
a combination of naturalism and a new classical style
C
poised, life-like

Explanation

Houdon’s sculpture combined the idealized forms and restraint of the new classical style with careful, naturalistic detail. His portraits often look lifelike rather than rigidly idealized, so “a combination of naturalism and a new classical style” is the best description.
