Eiffel (1832-1923) not only designed the Tower and other projects in France...but he also worked on the French designs for the Panama Canal, the Central Railroad Station in Santiago, Chile and a lighthouse in Puerto Rico.
This gilded bust of him is set on a cement pedestal underneath the Eiffel Tower. It depicts him as a relatively young man, bearded and with short hair. He appears to be looking into the distance. The artist is Emile Antoine Bourdelle.
