Joies de la famille

The sculpture features a man and woman tenderly embracing each other while supporting their child, created by Horace Daillion in marble material.

The marble version of Joies de la famille was exhibited at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris after its plaster model appeared at the Salon in 1885.

The sculpture belongs to a collection of 106 statues in the Luxembourg Garden, representing family connections through classical artistic expression.

Located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, the wheelchair-accessible sculpture can be viewed during the Luxembourg Garden's regular opening hours.

The French state commissioned this work through a ministerial decision on March 30, 1888, specifically designating its placement in the Luxembourg Garden.
