Ducel Foundry after Pierre Loison, Young Girl with a Conch, mid-19th century
By J.J. Ducel, Pierre Loison 1
Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR

The company had a store in Paris and gained recognition by participating in various international exhibitions held in the second half of the 19th century. It was purchased by the Val d’Osne Foundry in 1878.

A drapery covers her waist, and both legs extend toward the water.
The statue bears an inscription on the base indicating its origin: “JJ DUCEL...
