Pensive? Nostalgique?


Printemps - premier étage


As this statue perched outside on the second floor 
peers in at the grand staircase, 
do you think that she must be a bit wistful 
to have spent the past 100 years 
only looking in at the fashions of Printemps?


must be a French girl

    She seems deep in thought.

    Wistful but confident Genie. I think she could hold her own in any situation. I think she is saying "It's not what you wear but how you wear it" n'est pas?

    Hello Genie:

    And would that we could know all that she has observed [and thought] over the past 100 years!!

    Not that she's not quite fashionable herself, of course.

    Mais oui! And she does make you think of spring with her floral adornments

    I think she looks lovely—but she might be wanting to update her outfit, peut-être.

    Very wistful. She's lovely, certainly, but nostalgic i'm sure. :)

    I think she is mischievous. She is waiting for a pompous person to walk below her and then she is going to drop something on his head.
