Il Dispetto, Marble sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, France.
The marble statue Il Dispetto represents a young musician expressing frustration through finely carved details and expressive features in white stone.
Jean Valette first presented Il Dispetto as a plaster model at the Paris Salon in 1868 before creating the final marble version in 1872.
The sculpture forms part of an extensive collection of outdoor artworks within the Luxembourg Gardens, reflecting French artistic traditions of the 19th century.
Visitors can view Il Dispetto near the Rue Soufflot entrance of the Luxembourg Gardens, which remains open from early morning until evening hours.
The Senate acquired the plaster model of Il Dispetto before the marble version appeared at the 1878 Salon, marking its institutional recognition.
