sketch of statue of St Stephen, Central Portal of Main Entrance on West Facade, Sens Cathedral

Artist: Bose, Fanindra Nath, ARSA · 1888-1926

Bose was in Paris in the summer of 1911 and executed a number of sketches of sculptures both ancient and more recent.

Amongst these are a series of single figure statues from various French cathedrals. Their original presence in Bose's sketchbooks suggest that they were made from photographic reproductions or from copy casts, probably in the Musee de la Sculpture Comparee at the Trocadero in Paris rather than from the originals in situ.
