The Château royal de Blois have begun a campaign to raise 350,000 EUR to acquire Jacques Sarazin's terracotta bust of Louix XIII's brother Gaston d'Orléans. Completed around 1636, La Tribune de l'Art have drawn attention to the fact the bust was recently revealed by dealer Edouard Ambroselli at the FAB art fair in Paris where it attracted considerable attention.
