Bronze statue of an angel lifting up a woman to reach the bust of an artist in Jardin du Luxembourg. Around the scupture is a fountain with standing water.

 

The statue in memory of Eugène Delacroix was made by Jules Dalou in 1890. One of the desperate female followers is held by an old bearded angel.

A woman is lifted up by a bearded angel. A loose flowing piece of cloth is protecting her modesty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At their side sits a man reaching out with both hands.  At his feet is the boney head of a horned animal.
