While staying in the countryside SE of Paris last summer, we visited the Musée Paul Dubois-Alfred Boucher in Bray sur Seine. This was a piece I especially liked by sculptor, Alfred Boucher.
I can see why you liked it, Virginia! It's the kind of sculpture I'd want to see from every angle but I like this one that you chose for us...and the sepia tones.
Absolutely amazing! How do they do that - get the proportions so perfect in every way. It's like a real person took a step forward and turned to stone...
It's a wonderful sculpture! BTW, I think she just got out of the shower & is writing a note on the steamed-up mirror. Perhaps it's a thank-you note to her friend gravity! (if you see what I mean)

ReplyDeleteShe's magnificent, V. As Ginnie said, I see why she appealed to you so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good piece, but a little too modern for me.
ReplyDeleteinvisible graffiti ..
ReplyDeleteJe ne connais pas ce musée à Bray-sur-Seine mais j'ai très envie d'aller le visiter! Moi aussi, j'aime beaucoup cette statue!
ReplyDeleteYou may not believe me, bit I have a photo of a tombstone in Pére Lachaise that looks almost exactly like this!

ReplyDeleteLovely perspective here, too, V.
How elegant she is! But it looks like she could use a bath!

ReplyDeleteThere's a quiet elegance about this piece. It's very beautiful indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt's this sort of thing that makes me want to visit every little museum in France. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh, Virginia, absolutely gorgeous (sculpture and photo)!
