Henri Raphaël Moncassin was a sculptor of portraits, busts and monuments. He studied at the École des Beaux-Art in Toulouse and then became a student of Antonin Mercié in Paris. In 1904, he won the second Prix de Rome and Moncassin travelled through Italy in 1908 on a scholarship. In Paris, the Salon of French Artists exhibited his work regularly beginning in 1905. After World War I, he made monuments and statues, his favourite topics being busts of children which enjoyed great interest from the public. This led him to a successful career creating busts of well-known personalities.
