Frédéric Le Play, Bronze sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, France.
The bronze statue stands on a marble pedestal in the southern section of the garden, depicting Frédéric Le Play, a French sociologist and economist.
Created by sculptor André-Joseph Allar in 1906, the monument survived potential destruction during World War II when it was removed and later discovered at an ironmonger's shop.
The statue represents Le Play's contributions to sociology through his research on European workers and family structures during the nineteenth century.
Located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, the statue remains accessible through paved pathways and features inscriptions detailing Le Play's professional achievements.
The pedestal contains specific mentions of Le Play's role as Inspector General of Mines and references his 1855 survey examining working-class families across Europe.
