Pautrot's artistic focus centered on creating small-scale bronze sculptures depicting various animal subjects. He had a remarkable ability to infuse his works with a sense of liveliness and character, capturing the unique personality of each animal he portrayed. His sculptures often showcased animals engaged in playful, mischievous, or endearing activities, attracting him to collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
During his career, Pautrot exhibited sculptures in prestigious art salons and earned recognition and acclaim for his artistry. His delightful animal-themed bronze sculptures gained popularity across France and beyond, attracting a diverse range of patrons and collectors.
