Louis Noël

Louis Noël was a French sculptor. After studying at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts under François Jouffroy, Noël became a productive artist, exhibiting regularly. His busts, statues, and portraits were of historical figures, saints, and contemporary people. He created several notable portrait-medallions: Abbe Derguesse, Mme L. B, Abbe Binet, President Quenson (1875), and M. B (1877). Noël was the stepfather of the sculptor Jules Déchin (1869-1947).
