    I've been unpacking some boxes today having recently moved premises. I remember purchasing this solid bronze sculpture from France, but am struggling to identify its maker. There are no foundry marks etc. and so I would appreciate any help please.

    It could be by Faguays (at a guess) but???

    It stands 14 1/2 inches including its marble base. The bronze has an age-related green patina which proved difficult to capture with my camera.

    I think its title name may be "Glory" or "Triumph" ?

    Looks more like an "after" than a recasting.
