Josuë Dupon (also Josué or Josue Dupon) (Ichtegem, 22 May 1864 - Berchem (Antwerp), 13 October 1935) was a Flemish sculptor and engraver. He received his education through evening classes at the academy of Roeselare and Antwerp (1884) and later at the National Higher Institute for Fine Arts (1887). After his studies he first worked in the studio of sculptor Clément Carbon in Roeselare. He was good friends with sculptor Jules Lagae. In 1891 he won a gold medal with the monumental sculpture group 'Samson kills the lion' and he became second in the Rome Prize for sculpture. From 1905 until 1934 he was a teacher of sculpture at the Antwerp academy (link). The mold represents Queen Elisabeth.
