Barrias" on the left shoulder H. 74 cm Minor damage to the pedestal This important bust of a man, wearing the ribbon of Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur, represents Achille Fanien, a leading industrialist and gold medalist at the 1878 Universal Exhibition, and Member of Parliament for Pas-de-Calais.
