FLORION. Bust of Louis Michel LEPELETIER de SAINT FARGEAU (1760-1793). Presented to the Convention on February 21, 1793 by Félix Lepeletier. Green patinated plaster, signed Florion SC. Original proof, of the period. H_73 cm W_48 cm D_33 cm, restorations. Provenance: L-L family collection, Saint Fargeau. Then by descent to its current owner. We will provide the purchaser with a complete study carried out by a member of the owner's family in numerous archives attesting that the work was indeed made by Florion and not by Fleriot-Lescot, as has been thought until recently.
