Last full day in Paris

We started our day with a trip to the Arch of Triumph/

Arc de Triomphe - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_de_Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l'Étoile — the étoile or "star" of the juncture formed by its twelve radiating avenues. The Arc deTriomphe should not be ...

 confused with a smaller arch, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, which stands west of the Louvre. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.  Kristi and her family walked up to the top of the arch to get a panoramic view of Paris. 

View from the top of the Arc.  This youtube site gives a great overview of the monument and its surrounding area.

The following is currently a melange of pictures taken from both Earl's and my cameras.  There is no organization applied.  Maybe some day.

Reclining Figure: Festival (LH 293) is a bronze sculpture by English artist Henry Moore, commissioned by the Arts Council in 1949 for the Festival of Britain in 1951. The sculpture can be viewed as an abstraction of a reclining female human figure, resting on two arms, with a small head.

A bronze cast, held by Musée National d'Art Moderne, is displayed in the Jardin des Tuileries near the Musée de l'Orangerie, in Paris.^[5]

Gaston Lachaise (March 19, 1882 – October 18, 1935) was an American sculptor of French birth, active in the early 20th century. A native of Paris, he was most noted for his female nudes such as Standing Woman. Gaston Lachaise was taught the refinement of European sculpture while living in France. He met a young American woman, Isabel Nagel, and the pair moved to America, where his craft reached maturity and he was influenced and inspired by American ways. Lachaise helped redefine the female nude in a new and powerful manner. His drawings also reflected his new style of the female form.

Le Serment de Spartacus (1869) Sculpteur: Louis-Ernest Barrais (1841-1905)

The Oath of Spartacus

One of my favorite statues in all of Paris is at the Petit Palais.  It is entitled the First Funeral.  It is of a grieving Adam and Eve carrying the body of their dead son Abel.  The grief their faces express is so real.  The sculpture is Louis-Ernest Barrias.

I had almost decided that the bird must be a part of the statue when I came across this image below.  If you look closely though you will see that the birds are sitting in the opposite directions.

It annoys me when I come across a great picture on the internet like this but the person who posted the picture gives no information about the piece of art or the artist.  Of course, there was nothing on the statue itself to indicate either of these items of information.
