Here is Gaton Hauchecorne (1880-1945), a terracotta subject with an old man seated reading Signed at the base.  

Gaston Hauchecorne passed most of his professional life in China where he was a professor at the University of Beijing, consular and diplomat director. He created many terracotta and bronze subjects representing Chinese characters sometimes with a humorous connotation. He exhibited, among other things, at the Marseille colonial exhibition in 1922.
