CAST BY VAL D'OSNE FROM A MODEL BY MATHURIN MOREAU, PARIS, LATE 19TH/EARLY 20TH CENTURY

The Moreau family of artist and sculptors is vast, comprising sculptors Mathurin and Auguste, among others. Though little is known of collaboration among the individual artists, it is interesting to note that Mathurin's Faune chasseur appears in Adrien Moreau's (d. 1906) idyllic painting Pomenade en barque.
