Jauquet began wood carving as a hobby, but his talent was soon recognized and he was honored in 1985 with a solo show at the Museum of American Folk Art in New York. Shortly thereafter, he adopted the lost wax method of casting bronze, a medium he continues with today.

No apparent condition concerns.
