When, in 1927, Jacques Dembiermont requested a bas-relief for his dining room in his villa in Grandcamp, the theme of Mowgli was chosen: Raymond Delamarre created a bas-relief in patinated plaster, measuring 1.88 m x 2.12 m, after numerous preparatory drawings, in particular of living animals from the Jardin des Plantes de Paris.
This bas-relief was exhibited at the Decorative Arts Exhibition in 1927.
