The novelist Jules-Amédée Barbey d’Aurevilly (French, 1808–1889) was one of Balzac’s most fervent supporters and an early sponsor of the Balzac monument. In 1909 Rodin was approached to design a memorial to d’Aurevilly; a version of this bust, showing the author’s fashionable features and dress, sits on a high pedestal in the Norman city of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte, his birthplace.
