This bronze statue called La Femme aux Pommes, which as you can tell is positioned on top of a stone base, and basically the name translates in English to The Woman with Apples, which you can just make out from the photo that she is holding in her hands.
The French sculptor Jean Terzieff, who was actually born in Bucharest, moved to Paris just after World War I, which is also where he passed away, having been a student of Antoine Bourdelle and Ossip Zadkine early in his career as an artist.
Jean Terzieff created the sculpture for the 1937 World Fair while World War II was looming, and his concept was to provide a bronze statue with sensual grace where she is trying to depart the bones of contention between people.
You can see the grace and beauty of the bronze sculpture by Jean Terzieff that fits the majestic surroundings of the Luxembourg gardens perfectly.
