Andre Medard Bourgault, Wood Sculpture, Boy with Cap or Riding Helmet

This is a wonderful Andre Medard Bourgault (Canadian) hand carved wooden bust of a boy wearing a cap or riding helmet. Signed by the artist on the base. I'm unsure of the type of wood but it is in excellent condition. 

Since the 1930s, the Bourgault family of Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec has been world renowned for wood sculpture. Roger Bourgault is a well known master carver and son of Andre Bourgault, one of the original "Les trois berets".
