Rare Pair Of Paul Ducuing Bronze American Soldier Sculptures French Artist 1917

Description: Up for your consideration is a PAIR of bronze soldier sculptures by French artist, Paul Ducuing. Each is sign to the base. I took pictures of all angles and close-ups, so nothing is hidden. They are in very good condition. Both are very detailed. One looks like he may have been holding a rifle, but not sure. The taller of the two is approximately 12 1/4 inches tall. The other 12 inches. for sure the one on the right was used by the serves porcelain factory and cast as a bisque sculpture in the 20s. I believe these bronze is to be before the 20 circa 1917. You get both of them pictured. Please ask questions. Great historical works of art! Buyer will include $40 shipping. Thanks for looking.
