Ferdinand Fabre, Bronze sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, France
The monument shows a young shepherdess with a goat, representing rural life themes in the writings of French novelist Ferdinand Fabre.
Laurent Marqueste created this tribute to the French writer Ferdinand Fabre, with the official inauguration taking place on January 17, 1880.
The sculpture joins 105 other statues in Jardin du Luxembourg, forming part of an extensive collection of public art installations.
Located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, the monument stands along paved paths that accommodate visitors using wheelchairs or mobility devices.
Ferdinand Fabre died five days before his anticipated election to the French Academy, making this memorial particularly meaningful.
