Caryatid - la fleuriste


Caryatid


This sculpture on the premier étage appears to be arranging the garland of flowers.  
Her companion on the other side of the balcony is striking a slightly different pose.


The building was constructed in 1909 by Adolphe Cherioux 
and the two caryatids by sculptor E. Chenevière.
Many of the buildings will have a date and some additional information.  
You just have to look for that detail.

    As they say 'it's all in the details' Genie, Paris has so many beautiful details!

    Hello Genie,

    Yes, so much detail. One always has to be looking up to appreciate the full splendour of these grand buildings. The same is true in Budapest and, of course, you will see that for yourself!

    She looks like she is just putting the finishing touches on the outside decor herself Genie.

    It's always a treat to find a building where caryatids "live." She is charming.

    I love this style of architecture. I also love that you let us know where you take your photos. I'm sure I'll look for some of these places next time I'm in Paris.
