George Sand, Marble sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, France
The George Sand statue, created by François-Léon Sicard in 1904, represents the French novelist in a contemplative position within the Luxembourg Gardens.
George Sand, born as Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin, established herself as a prominent French writer by publishing under a male pseudonym in the 19th century.
The marble monument stands as a representation of early feminist literature and gender equality advocacy in French intellectual circles.
Located near the eastern entrance of the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris's 6th arrondissement, the statue remains accessible for all visitors throughout the year.
The sculptor François-Léon Sicard won the Prix de Rome in 1891 and later became a member of the Beaux Arts Academy in 1930.
