Émile Louis Picault

Émile Louis Picault (24 August 1833 – 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".

gollark: Do you know how to write to the "info box"?
gollark: It's kind of weird though. They *gain* (or at least don't lose) money if there's more demand for their laser stuff. Are they that afraid of someone misusing their laserstuff?
gollark: Ħi.
