Eugène Lequesne (1815-1887) studied at the Ecole des beaux-arts from 1841 in the atelier of Pradier. In 1844 he won the Prix de Rome and that year he moved to Rome for five years. Lequesne drew inspiration from antique sculpture, evidence of this can be seen in the various allegorical symbols at the foot of the faun. This sculpture is related to his faun dansant, a bronze two metres high which was exhibited at the 1852 Salon and now stands in the jardin du Luxembourg in Paris.
Albinet and Coulon were founders based in Paris, active around 1875.
