Émile Louis Picault (24 August 1833 – 1915) was a French sculptor, best known for works depicting allegorical and patriotic subjects, and mythological heroes. Picault was a very prolific artist, producing sculptures, over 500 models in total—with the Egyptian figures being his most sought after, during his long sculpting career. He began to show his artwork at the Salon beginning in 1863.[1] He signed the majority of his work as " Picault".
Scribes were people in ancient Egypt (usually men) who learned to read and write. Although experts believe that most scribes were men, there is evidence of some female doctors. These women would have been trained as scribes so that they could read medical texts.
This bronze dates to the late 1800s. The total height including the base is 32.75".
