What's it worth? Appraisal Emile Louis Picault bronze

Joe says:

Hello,

My father has this statue that was given to my grandfather in the 1920’s (?) It is bronze, stands about 36” tall and has markings on the bottom that you can see in the photos. I don’t know any more about it that. It has a few scratches but otherwise seems to be in good condition.

Thanks,

Joe
