La Femme aux pommes, Bronze sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, France
The sculpture portrays a female figure carefully holding apples, representing themes of fertility through its rounded forms and natural elements.
Created in 1937 by Russian-born sculptor Jean Terzieff, the statue emerged during a period of mounting international tensions before World War II.
The sculpture stands among numerous artworks in the Jardin du Luxembourg, where Parisians meet to appreciate art within natural surroundings.
Located near the central fountain of the gardens, the sculpture remains accessible through designated pathways suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
The female figure attempts to separate the apples of discord between nations, expressing a message of harmony during pre-war uncertainties.
