Gustave Flaubert, Bronze bust in Jardin du Luxembourg, France.
The bronze sculpture depicts the profile of the novelist Gustave Flaubert with detailed facial features and a stern expression reflecting his character.
Auguste Clésinger created this commemorative bust in 1880, the same year Flaubert died, though it was installed in the garden in 1922.
The statue stands among numerous sculptures of French writers and artists, representing the strong literary heritage of the Luxembourg Gardens.
The bronze bust sits near the central fountain of the garden, making it accessible through multiple pedestrian paths within the 6th arrondissement.
This sculpture captures Flaubert's characteristic side profile, showing the prominent nose that appeared in many photographs of the author.
