Eutrope Bouret, born in 1833 in Paris and died in 1906 in the same city, is a French sculptor. He is the son of Charles-Louis Bouret, a bronze caster, and Catherine Rigaud, a seamstress. As a student of Louis-Charles-Hippolyte Buhot, he made his debut at the 1875 Salon, received an honorable mention in 1885 with a marble statue of Psyche at the Tribunal of Venus, and continued to exhibit almost every year until 1903. His bronze bust of Alexis Bouvier adorns the novelist's tomb in the Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. He was a member of the Society of French Artists.
