L.Goyeau - Napoleon in bust - metal alloy
Goyeau signed many small sculptures, estimated for most between 1850 and 1920.
Nice bust of Napoleon with the Imperial Eagle, nice quality of spelter with a beautiful signature of the artist on the back.
While it is referenced in the inventory of the Musée d'Orsay (RF3728 for the ‘jeune garçon tenant un nid’ exposed to the Museum Baron Martin in Bourgogne), there is no more specific information about this sculptor, which makes it even more mysterious.
