Over 300 sculptures, mostly in bronze but also in plaster and terracotta, will offer a vast choice. Rodin enthusiasts will be able to take home a proof of Masque de femme au nez retroussé, petit modèle , created circa 1885-1890, and an edition of Balzac, dernière étude pour la tête , both probably cast by Auguste Griffoul, for €30,000 to €40,000 each. Animal art enthusiasts will be delighted by Roger Godchaux's La Lionne se tournant , a Susse cast (€20,000/25,000) and a seated Fennec by Édouard Marcel Sandoz (€12,000/15,000). Nineteenth-century works include a Carpeaux workshop edition of Suzanne surprise au bain by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (€20,000/30,000) and the famous and fascinating Satan by Jean-Jacques Feuchère, which will fetch up to €30,000/40,000. Alfredo Pina, Antoine-Louis Barye, Joël and Jan Martel and Patrick Villas will also be on view. Casts from the Bouthemard collection, a firm that worked on the renovation of buildings in the Chartres region in the last third of the 19th century, will close the curtain with pieces contributing to the preservation of France's heritage, mainly religious, and for estimates ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of euros.
