Justicia (Lady Justice), 19th century
Bronze sculpture
Signature to base

Clément Léopold Steiner was born in Paris in 1853. Following his father’s footsteps, Steiner attended the École des Beaux-Arts to become a sculptor. There he studied under François Jouffroy and Aimé Millet. Upon graduating, Steiner immersed himself into the Parisian art scene. He entered- and won- the 1875 competition to create the Monument of Defense. A decade later, Steiner’s submission for the statue of Alexandre Ledru-Rollin was chosen as the winning design to decorate the entrance of the town hall of the 11th Arrondissement. Steiner established his prolific career and was ultimately awarded a medal at the 1889 Paris World Fair. He also worked on private commissions such as the decor for Prince Roland Bonaparte’s mansion in the mid-1890s. Due to the grandeur of many of his works, Clément Léopold Steiner saw few of his sculptures being realized in his lifetime; such as his last sculpture of Pegasus being held by the Fame of War at Pont Alexandre III.
