Fabrication Francaise, Paris, was a production company that manufactured sculptures after the artist produced bronze sculptures. THIS marble bust of a soldier was MADE BY RICHARD AURILI; IT IS SIGNED BY the ARTIST AND STAMPED BY the foundry. It was finished by the foundry with metal between 1892 and 1915.
