All dabors specialized in the realization of busts, Charles DELHOMMEAU (1883-1970) turned definitively towards animal sculpture, being inspired by the animals of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where he worked on the living model like his companions. of the time. He exhibited at the salons of the National Society and participated in the exhibitions of the Society of Animal Artists. He collaborated with the Manufacture de Sèvres and his works made in terracotta were published for the most part in bronze from the 1930s. We also owe him remarkable charcoal drawings.
