Desbois, who was a French sculptor born on December 20, 1851, in Parçay-les-Pins, France, and passed away on October 2, 1935, in Paris, France. He is known for his contributions to sculpture and his association with the Art Nouveau movement. Desbois studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Angers before moving on to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris after being selected for further studies. His first exhibition at the Salon came in 1875 with a piece titled "Orpheus."
Desbois was a collaborator and follower of the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin.
