South America, Cast iron statue at Musée d'Orsay, France
The South America statue measures 2.1 meters in height and 1.62 meters in width, featuring a seated woman wearing ornamental attire with a decorative headdress.
The sculpture was commissioned by the State for the 1878 Paris Exposition-Universelle and stood at the Palais du Trocadéro until 1935 before being relocated to Nantes.
The artwork forms part of a set of six monumental figures representing different continents, incorporating names of South American countries in its inscriptions.
