Born in 1834, Benoît Rougelet (d.1894) studied under Duret and exhibited at the Salon from 1876, getting honourable mentions in 1887 and at the Paris 1889 Exposition Universelle, and a third class medal in 1892. He produced numerous busts and medallions portraying historical and contemporary French celebrities. He also sculpted classical figures and groups, such as the present lot.
