A statue of fine stature! by fishers

A statue of fine stature!

This is one of the over 300 baroque sculptures in the gardens of Versailles. They draw inspiration from Greco-Roman mythology and ancient history, and were created by several notable sculptors which made the gardens so famous.

The sun was shining all day in my latest visit, and it's amazing how bright white the statues are - Lucy
A graceful capture. Fav

The folds in the robe are so realistically carved. I don't normally pay much attention to statues, but you have made me look at this one more carefully!
