Émile Louis Picault
Émile Louis Picault (French: [emil lwi piko]; 24 August 1833 – 24 August 1915) was a French sculptor, best known for works depicting allegorical and patriotic subjects, and mythological heroes. Picault was a very prolific artist, producing sculptures in abundance—over 500 models in total—during his long sculpting career. He began to show his artwork at the Salon beginning in 1863.[1] He signed the majority of his work as "E. Picault".
