Upon his return to Paris, he had his debut at the Paris Salon to much attention and acclaim.

His wonderful bas relief plaque of an allegorical depiction of victory as a winged figure on horseback reveals the sculptor at his most masterful; the taut yet subtle muscles of the horses legs, the delineated feathers of the wings, and the delicate modeling which creates an interplay of light and shadow creating a sense of depth and motion. Coutan was named a professor of art at l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1900.
