Here Bourdelle sculpted the French heroine of the war of the 100 years, Joan D’Arc. Here she holds her famous battle standard commissioned to Hamish Power and made of a material called Buckram. The standard is known as a way for Joan to redirect her troops during difficult times in battles, she was able to mark her position on the field and rally her men to victory.
