Guy de Maupassant
By Raoul Verlet (1897)
I am amused by the less-than-impressed expression of the woman underneath the bust.
Taken in the Parc Monceau.
The park was created by Phillippe d'Orléans, Duke of Chartres, with land purchased in 1769, and made a public park in 1778. Parc Monceau was designed by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle (1717-1806) as an 'English Garden'.
Despite his supporting the French Revolution, Phillippe d'Orléans was guillotined in 1793 during the Reign of Terror.
