La Montagne, Lead sculpture in Tuileries Garden, Paris, France
La Montagne stands as a female figure with one hand raised near her face, representing a protective gesture against wind forces.
The sculpture was initially created in plaster during 1925, before the Georges Rudier Foundry cast it in lead material in 1937.
Model Dina Vierny, who posed for this sculpture, later contributed to the French Resistance and donated the work to Paris.
Visitors can find the sculpture in the Tuileries Garden, which opens from early morning until late evening according to seasonal schedules.
The statue forms part of a collection of Maillol sculptures in the garden, allowing viewers to compare different interpretations of the female form.
