Marcel Damboise probably met Professor Pierre-Paul Grassé (1895-1985) through his sculptor friends from the Académie, at an event at the Institut. Grassé, an eminent zoologist, has been an Academician since 1948. Marcel Damboise created a medallion and bust portrait of him: a bronze proof of the bust is probably in the scientist's family.
