Enfants supportant une vasque, Marble sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, France
This marble sculpture displays two children figures holding up a large basin at the center of a water feature in the Luxembourg Garden.
The French Senate purchased this artwork from Citizen Ovin for 2,420 French Francs during the First Empire period in June 1802.
The sculpture stands as a representation of childhood within the Luxembourg Garden, where children now sail model boats in the surrounding basin.
The sculpture remains accessible to visitors during the Luxembourg Garden opening hours, from early morning until dusk throughout the year.
The identity of the artist who created this marble masterwork, originally located in Chantilly village, remains undocumented in historical records.
