Paul Dubois was a French sculptor and painter from Nogent-sur-Seine whose practice centered on monumental figurative sculpture and portrait painting. Active during the late nineteenth century, he produced statues and sculptural works that engaged with academic tradition while developing a distinctive approach to portraiture across both media. His dual practice in sculpture and painting allowed him to explore form and likeness through complementary technical vocabularies.
