"Model to a Monument to Alexandre Dumas" is a sculptural work by the French artist Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse, created as a preliminary model for a larger monument dedicated to the celebrated French writer Alexandre Dumas. Carrier-Belleuse, known for his prolific output and influence during the Second Empire in France, was a master of the Beaux-Arts tradition and often engaged in creating public monuments and decorative sculptures that captured the spirit of his time.

This particular model was intended to honor Dumas, the author of such literary classics as "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," whose works have had a lasting impact on French literature and popular culture. The monument reflects the esteem in which Dumas was held and serves as a testament to his enduring legacy.

Crafted in a smaller scale, the model would have been used to refine the design and details before the execution of the full-sized monument. Such models were common practice in the 19th century as a step in the process of creating large public sculptures, allowing for adjustments to be made in composition, form, and aesthetics prior to the final commission.

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse's work on the model demonstrates his skill in portraiture and his ability to convey a sense of grandeur and dignity befitting a literary giant like Dumas. While the full details of the monument's history and current whereabouts may not be extensively documented, the model remains an important artifact of the period and an illustration of the intersection between visual arts and literature in the celebration of cultural figures.
