Georges Coudray was born in Paris. He was a pupil of Falguière and is known for producing statues, busts and medallions with an oriental influence. He exhibited at the Paris Salons from 1883 to 1903 with works including: in bronze ‘Aquila’ (1892), in terra cotta ‘Les Nénuphars’ (1899) and in marble ‘Iris’ (1902). Coudray also designed pieces for Orivit, the German metalware company. He is perhaps best known for his statuette of ‘Tahoser’ inspired by the book ‘Roman de la Momie’ by Théophile Gautier. Another character called Twéa appears in the same book, which is believed to have inspired this work. Examples of his sculptures can be found at the Northwest University in Chicago.
