I did a bit more reading on the statue I photographed. Apparently it has nothing to do with deodorant.
The statue is called “L'Homme et sa Misere ou La Misere” (the man and his misery or The misery) and it is inside Jardin des Tuileries, Paris. It is by Jean-Baptiste Hugues and was sculpted in marble around 1905-1907.
And from eutouring.com “Now this close up photograph shows a worried man holding away a serpent or snake with another that is on his thigh, while there are also two children in this statue group that are clinging on to his legs, as though they are scared.”
Thanks for the much appreciated comments. Deodorant was the first thing I thought when I saw it a few years ago. Not very enlightened I know.
Thanks again for the much appreciated comments. I’ve never researched what he’s actually doing!!
