Standbeeld Ary Scheffer, Bronze monument at Scheffersplein, Dordrecht, Netherlands
The statue depicts Ary Scheffer in a standing position with crossed legs, holding a palette in his left hand and a brush in his right hand.
Created between 1859 and 1861, this monument represents the first memorial dedicated to a contemporary artist in the Netherlands in the 19th century.
The statue was designed by Scheffer's daughter Cornelia and sculptor Joseph Mezzara after rejecting a proposal from the Statue of Liberty creator Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.
The bronze sculpture stands 2.65 meters tall and rests on a pedestal displaying the birth and death dates of the French-Dutch romantic painter.
The monument arrived in the Netherlands by train after being cast at the Eck and Durand foundry in Paris, where Scheffer spent most of his career.
