Now this close up photograph shows the detailing that went into producing this statue of The Force, which was by Jean Louis Nicolas Jaley, who was born in Paris in 1802 and initially followed his father who was an engraver, before turning his focus to sculpture, winning the Prix de Rome in 1827 and furthering his studies at the Villa Medici.
