Hello, just curious if anyone has ever seen this sculpture before, or if
anyone has seen it in person (and where) ?

here is the description:
Description: Signed Leon Pilet on the base
with a nice patina, high relief depiction of the famous French science
fiction author Jules Verne, debonairly dressed, gesturing with one hand
while leaning against several books a top a pedestal in the midst of a
passionate speech or a toast amongst his many inner circle friends of the
day. Size: 34 inches height. Leon Pilet (1830-1916)
(some books have him listed as Pillet) is a listed French sculptor. This
might possibly be one of the largest works Pilet ever did.
