Wow Helene...I'm quite surprised to see this beautiful statue has been defaced! How do Parisians feel about that? I'm amazed anyone would so such a thing to a public work of art!

[Louise]

Very strong picture. It really evokes a lot of emotion.

OH, the X across the mouth is really distressing

@Weezilou @jgpittenger This is part of the statue "place de la Republique" wich is the symbol of the "resistance" since last attacks in January with the momument of the Republic.

As others have written, the X is distressing but this is a very powerful photograph.
