Note du spécialiste

Emile-Louis Picault trained under Royer and exhibited a wide range of sculpture at the Salon between 1863 and 1909. His Orientalist subjects are some of his most popular works and follow in the tradition of ethnographic-based artwork in France during the second half of the 19th Century.
