Electricity, Stone bas-relief sculpture on Bir-Hakeim Bridge, Paris, France.

The stone sculpture portrays a figure representing electricity through classical artistic elements mounted on the metallic structure of Bir-Hakeim Bridge.

Jean Antoine Injalbert crafted this monumental work in 1906 during a period when Paris underwent extensive electrical infrastructure development and modernization.

The sculpture combines traditional French artistic methods with the representation of electricity, marking the transition between classical art and technological progress.

Located near Bir-Hakeim metro station on line 6, visitors can observe the sculpture while crossing the bridge's pedestrian level toward the 16th district.

The sculpture stands as one of the earliest public art pieces in Paris dedicated to celebrating electrical power through classical sculptural representation.
