Comments:
One of the statues in the Tuileries Gardens.
The statue, which is 2.3 meters high, was made by François Sicard, made in 1896 for an exhibition held in Rome. Placed in the Tuileries Gardens in 1905

The statue shows the "Good Samaritan" which refers to a Samaritan who helped an injured man without expecting anything in return. A parable described in the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament.

The statue was photographed on the same day (the bird is not part of the statue...) Click for a larger image Click for a larger image
