Jacques Ange Corbel

S. Lami, Dictionnaire des Sculpteurs de L'école Française, vol. I, Paris, 1914, p. 416 (possibly)

Paris, Salon, 1893, no. 2720 (possibly)

Corbel first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1877 where he immediately won a medal. His last appearance at the Salon was in 1897. He received a state commission for a bust of Gounod for the Paris Opera. The present marble bust is possibly the bust of Victor Hugo exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1893 (no. 2720, op. cit. p. 416).
