Bob--

I  a bronze sculpture by E. Bernoud too!  It stands about 7 inches high and is of a small child stretched out on a large conch shell reaching for a crab inside.  Unfortunately,  I also do not know anything about the artist. Let me know if you learn anything.

> I recently acquired a life-size bronze sculpture of a young girl standing amidst lilypad, bending slightly with arms outstretched, reaching for a butterfly. The piece stands about 3 and a half feet high and is signed E. Bernoud. I am trying to learn something about the artist. He/she is listed in Harold Berman's "Bronzes, sculptors & founders 1800-1930," Vol IV Abage Encyclopedia with a small example dated 1910. Can anyone help please? Thanks.
