Standing Woman, Bronze sculpture in Tuileries Garden, France
Standing Woman is a bronze sculpture in the Tuileries Garden that depicts an upright female figure with bold proportions. The work displays carefully rendered surface details throughout the bronze that give shape and presence to the form.
Gaston Lachaise created this work between 1928 and 1930, with the first bronze casting completed in 1933 at the Preissmann-Bauer foundry in Munich. This production history reflects the international collaboration involved in creating major artworks during this period.
The sculpture presents the female form with emphasis on physical power, reflecting how artists of the early 20th century reimagined representations of women. This approach to depicting the body became part of a broader artistic movement that celebrated strength and vitality.
You can find the sculpture in the publicly accessible Tuileries Garden in a central location, reachable from several entrances. The park is easy to walk through, and the work sits near the main paths visitors typically follow.
The example in the Tuileries is an artist's proof issued by the Lachaise Foundation in 2007, making it one of the newest versions of this sculpture. This late edition demonstrates how historical artworks can be re-cast across decades.
