Île-de-France by Aristide Maillol

This bronze figure stands near the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, representing a female form with smooth lines and balanced proportions.

The sculpture, completed in 1925, marks Maillol's transition from working with torsos to creating complete figures with detailed extremities.

Dina Vierny, who modeled for Maillol during his later years, donated several statues including this one to Paris in 1964.

The statue remains accessible throughout the year in the Jardin du Carrousel, which connects the Louvre Museum to the Tuileries Garden.

The base of the sculpture bears Maillol's distinct monogram signature instead of his full name, a characteristic mark of his works.
