Jules Massenet - bronze patina on wood base

I am just now getting to know Massenet's works. It was kind of an addendum to my 20th century composer series to make sure I covered all the major operatic composers. There were lots of different photos of Jules to choose from, especially as an elderly gent--- however, I went with the dapper and rather cocky-looking Parisian, who was doubtlessly the one who wrote "Manon."

I put this one onto a modernist wood base...he was, after all, 20th century.
