Monument to Waldeck-Rousseau, Marble statue in Tuileries Garden, France.

The Monument to Waldeck-Rousseau measures 4.95 meters in height and 4.8 meters in width, featuring a central bust surrounded by allegorical figures.

Laurent Marqueste completed this monument in 1909 to honor Prime Minister Waldeck-Rousseau, who served France and established social legislation in the late 1800s.

The design incorporates classical elements with Corinthian columns and symbolic figures representing France and workers, reflecting early 20th-century artistic preferences.

Located in the first arrondissement, the monument stands along the pathways of Tuileries Garden, offering wheelchair accessibility for all visitors.

The monument underwent modifications during World War II when its bronze elements were removed during the Vichy regime, yet maintained its structural integrity.
