States 1922 Bronze with dark brown patina Height 16 1/8 inches (41 cm) Provenance: Private collection Born in Quebec, Suzor-Cote first worked on church decorations before traveling to Paris, where he studied under Leon Bonnat and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, from 1891 to 1894 and from 1897 to 1901.
