Psyché sous l'emprise du mystère, Marble sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, France.

The marble sculpture Psyché sous l'emprise du mystère stands at 1.83 meters high on a stone base near the Palais du Luxembourg.

After its creation by Hélène Bertaux, the sculpture earned a gold medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle before its placement in 1923.

The sculpture represents the mythological character Psyche, drawing from classical narratives while incorporating early 20th-century artistic interpretations.

The sculpture remains accessible throughout the garden opening hours, from morning until evening, with variations according to seasons.

Hélène Bertaux created multiple versions of Psyche sculptures, with one preserved in the Petit Palais museum collection.
