Coquelin” Bears the foundry mark “Susse Fondeur Paris” Numbered “5/8” H. 19.5 cm Gabriel Coquelin trained in the sculpture studio of his father, Eugène Coquelin. He became the go-to craftsman for many artists in the creation of war memorials. In 1931, he helped execute the bas-reliefs by Alfred Janniot intended to adorn the façade of the former Musée des Colonies. Gabriel Coquelin was passionate about the intimate depiction of the female nude, which he modeled spontaneously by applying clay in small strokes. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français as well as at the Salons des Indépendants and d’Automne. Related literature: -Monique Barrier, *La saga des Coquelin*, Paris, Éd.
