Designed by Ferdinand LeVillain (1837-1905), who studied under Jouffroy and proceeded to win a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1889, and later became a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. His talent and reputation were gained by the sculpting of numerous historical bas-reliefs, plaques and medallions.
