Catalogue Note
Drouot was a pupil of Émile Thomas and Mathurin Moreau. He began exhibiting regularly at the salons in 1889. His vast oeuvre covered a large variety of themes including the allegorical, mythological and oriental. With an acute sense of movement and expression, he became a notable member of the sculptor community in Paris.
