While Emile Friant's work is largely preserved in the private domain (in Lorraine, France, and around the world), a significant portion of his work is held in public collections worldwide.
Some works have unfortunately disappeared (Pierre-Noël Museum in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, André-Diligent "La Piscine" Museum in Roubaix), and others are unknown.
