Gilles Lecours. Sculptor. Wood carver. Victoriaville, Quebec. Active late 19th century.

Gilles Lecours was a bird carver. He carved and painted his impressions of the birds of Quebec. His bird carvings have wire legs and feet wrapped with thread. He usually signed his work on the dase or under the tail and occasionally the letters are nearly filled with colour and difficult to make out. But they are there if one looks carefully.
