This is a really a perfect figurehead - I guess in scale 1:48 based on the ancre publication by Jacques FICHANT
Here some photos of the original contemporary model of the 64-gunner L'ARTESIEN from 1764 - the photos borrowed from the ancre-web-page of the monographie

L'ARTESIEN 64-GUN SHIP 1764 - Ancre

The model of the Artésien, a model righteously considered as one of the major pieces in the Paris Marine Museum collection. 180 pages booklet. 35 plates at 1:48 scale and the 5 plates at 1:72 NEW 20/04/2023 : IN ENGLISH.

CNC for sure. It does not decrease the beauty of the carving, it is breathtaking!

This is not a CNC. This is handmade. Used hand tools and engraving machine. I am trying to make a sculpture of wood, similar to a real historical, large sculpture carved from marble. Therefore, at the end of the work, I try to polish everything and remove all traces of the cutting tool. This is my style.

I'm not sure about the correct Google translation, so I’ll write again. This is handmade. No CNC. Hand tool
and hand engraver.
