‘Moses and Jochebed ‘ – A Fine Patinated Bronze Figural Group After A Model by ‘François Truphème’, Cast by ‘Thiebaut Frères’.

This impressive patinated bronze figure is raised on a carved wooden pedestal. The Thiébaut Foundry (1844-1901) was one of the most important foundries of the Nineteenth Century casting monumental works such as the Gloria Victis by Mercie and the monument to the Defense de Paris by Barrias. The foundry was started by Charles Cyprien Thiébaut (1769-1830) and later passed on to his son, Charles Antoine Floréal (born 1794), who established the business on Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis under the name Theibaut St. In 1870, Victor Thiébaut left his enterprise to his three sons, who established the name Thiébaut Frères. The Foundry participated in a number of International Exhibitions and was to acquire an important international reputation.

French, Dated 1863.
