After a difficult start to his career, influenced and supported by Auguste Rodin, whose practitioner he became from 1884 to 1914, Jules Desbois moved away from his academic training and developed a more modern and personal aesthetic language. Jules Desbois was a versatile artist, equally at home in monumental sculpture and the decorative arts. The artist continues to work on the female body, adapting it to the shapes of his objects.
