We would like to thank Pierre Kastelyn, who kindly confirmed the authenticity of this work and informed us that there are three versions of this model.
The first version, with its base in Belgian black marble, was shown at the 1932 exhibitions. To date, there are five known examples of this model. Our proof is one of these five. The second version has a simplified marble base, more in the style of Prost. The last version is entirely in bronze, with an inclined base bearing the founder's mark. The edition of this model, all bases combined, would be around ten.
Expert.
