NOTE:
***
When I was preparing pictures for this listing, I noticed “flat nose” on the figure’s face. I think that at one point the sculpture fell flat on the nose. This happened long time before I acquired sculpture. This fact does not take anything from the beauty of the sculpture (at least for me), but I just wanted to state the fact.
The price reflects this fact.

About Artist
EUTROPE BOURET
(FRENCH, 1833-1906)
Eutrope Bouret
was a French sculptor.
Best known for his Neoclassical bronze pieces, he focused on historic themes and mythology while incorporating external materials and devices such as marble, plaster, terracotta and lighting fixtures.
Born on April 16, 1833 in Paris, France, he went on to study under the French decorative sculptor
Louis-Charles-Hippolyte Buhot
.
Bouret received commercial and critical success during his lifetime, notably being commissioned to sculpt the tombstone bust of the popular French novelist and fellow bronze sculptor, Alexis Bouvier.
He exhibited at the Paris Salon regularly until his death on September 30, 1906 in Paris, France.
