Beautifully detailed bronze work. Titled and marked prominently. Work of E. Picault (Emile Louis Picault). Over a fifty year career marked more by defeat than victory at the Paris salons, Picault worked tirelessly producing approximately one thousand exciting sculptures. His choice of subjects was predominately male. Many extraordinary plaques and medallions have survived while only a handful of busts exist. Among his repeated themes were memorial monuments, famous men, blacksmiths, warriors, knights and musicians. these were often accompanied by inspiring inscriptions drawn from the Latin. "" Bronzes Sculptors and Founders "" by Berman. Don César de Bazan is an opera in four acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Adolphe d'Ennery, Jean Henri Dumanoir and Jules Chantepie, based on the drama Ruy Blas by Victor Hugo. It was first performed at the Opéra Comique in Paris on November 30, 1872. /Don_C%C3%A9sar_de_Bazan
