“The Portique monumental Jules-Coutan (also called the Portique Art nouveau or the Portique de la manufacture de Sèvres) is a sandstone portico located in the Félix-Desruelles square, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. Designed by the architect Charles-Auguste Risler (1864-1937) and the sculptor Jules Coutan (1848-1939), and produced at the Sèvres Manufactory, it adorned the Pavilion of French Manufactures at the 1900 Universal Exhibition. Safeguarded, it was moved to a façade adjoining the square.” (Portique monumental Jules-Coutan, Wikipedia)
