I have seen quite a few of these on the internet with the same marble flat repro base. The patina is a give away also. On an original you would see a lot of rubbing to the patina. Most of the output I have seen of his is spelter. He is barely mentioned in the books on bronze including the Ency. of Bronzes 1800 to 1930.
Hard to say. There are others like this one around. This eBay seller claims to have an original: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-Art-Bronze-Statue-J-COUTAN-Angel-w-Bow-Wings-SIGNED-/321836775361?hash=item4aeef777c1

The ebay one is definitely a reproduction along with the other link.
