Alfred Dubucand was born in Paris on 25th November 1828. He studied under Lequien, first exhibiting at the Salon of 1867 with a wax model of a pheasant. A confirmed member of the French "Animalier" school, he exhibited regularly at the Salon normally working in wax and then casting models in bronze as his clients requested. The model of the Chasseur Persan, one of Dubucand's most important works, was first exhibited in wax at the Paris Salon of 1878 and then in bronze at the Salon the following year.
