Equestrian statue of Henry IV, Historical monument on Pont Neuf, Paris, France.
The bronze statue depicts King Henry IV in armor mounted on horseback, holding a scepter with fleurs-de-lis in his right hand.
Erected in 1818, this monument replaced the original 1614 statue that was destroyed during the French Revolution in 1792.
The pedestal base features Latin inscriptions celebrating Louis XVIII's return and commemorating the actions of Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu.
The monument stands at the western end of Pont Neuf, with the king facing toward Quai des Orfèvres.
During its installation, documents and medals were placed inside the horse structure, now preserved in the National Archives.
