La Nymphe, Bronze statue in Carrousel Garden, France
La Nymphe is a bronze figure depicting an archer drawing an arrow from her quiver, standing approximately 1.55 meters tall and 0.62 meters wide. The work is positioned in the Carrousel Garden and forms part of the collection that defines this section of the Tuileries Gardens.
Aristide Maillol created this sculpture in 1930 during a period of significant change in French sculptural art. The work marks the transition between classical traditions and modern artistic expression that defined the early 20th century.
The bronze figure depicts an archer from classical mythology, embodying themes that French artists favored displaying in public spaces during the early 20th century. The female form is part of a collection of works that give the garden its artistic character.
The statue is located in the Carrousel Garden, which is part of the Tuileries Gardens and remains accessible year-round. Visitors can easily reach the work since the area is near the Louvre Museum and is easy to explore on foot.
The work was created by Maillol, who was known for his reduced style that stripped forms down to their essential elements. This simplification makes the statue instantly recognizable and distinguishes it from the more detailed sculptural traditions of the 19th century.
