Night, Stone sculpture in Jardin des Grands Explorateurs, France.
The Night sculpture features a woman wearing clothes and a man without clothes, accompanied by a dog in a garden setting.
Charles Gumery started the sculpture in the 1860s, but after his death during the Paris Commune in 1871, Gabriel Jules Thomas completed the work.
The sculpture represents one element of a group depicting different times of day, reflecting 19th-century French artistic interpretations of time concepts.
The sculpture stands in the garden section named after Robert Cavelier de la Salle, accessible through the Luxembourg Gardens main entrance.
The stone artwork incorporates a guard dog next to human figures, creating a narrative about protection during nighttime hours.
