Anna Quinquaud

Anna Fanny Marguerite Quinquaud (1890–1984) was a French explorer and award-winning sculptor. From 1925, she travelled to the French-speaking countries of East Africa where she created numerous sculptures and water colours inspired by her impressions of the local people. She exhibited them at the Galerie Charpentier and at the Paris Colonial Exposition in 1931. In 1932, she visited Ethiopia where she created a bust of Haile Selassie.
