"Monsieur Cardin (Le Raseur)" is a notable sculpture by the American artist Frederick William MacMonnies, created in the late 19th century. MacMonnies, who was born in 1863 and became one of the most prominent sculptors of his time, is known for his dynamic and expressive works that often blend classical themes with a modern sensibility. This particular piece, "Monsieur Cardin (Le Raseur)," exemplifies his skill in capturing character and emotion through bronze.

The sculpture depicts a figure, Monsieur Cardin, in a moment of intense concentration, likely engaged in the act of shaving, as suggested by the title "Le Raseur," which translates to "The Shaver" in English. MacMonnies' attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the figure's facial expression and posture, conveying a sense of meticulousness and routine. The work reflects MacMonnies' ability to infuse everyday scenes with a sense of drama and significance.

"Monsieur Cardin (Le Raseur)" is part of MacMonnies' broader body of work that includes both public monuments and more intimate, personal sculptures. His training under the renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his subsequent studies in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts significantly influenced his style, which combines the realism of the Beaux-Arts tradition with a unique, lively approach to form and movement.

The sculpture not only showcases MacMonnies' technical prowess but also his keen eye for human nature, capturing a moment that is both specific and universally relatable. "Monsieur Cardin (Le Raseur)" remains an important piece within MacMonnies' oeuvre, reflecting the artist's contribution to American sculpture and his ability to elevate everyday subjects to the realm of fine art.
