Pont de Bir-Hakeim
Built between 1903 and 1905 this steel bridge has two levels,
the lower one for vehicles and pedestrians,
and the upper level (the viaduct) supports Métro Line 6.
The iron sculpture framed by the yellow poplar leaves
is one of four on the main arches of the bridge.
This one was designed by Jules-Felix Coutan and represents Labor.
This was my first visit to Pont de Bir-Hakeim,
and I will share more photos with you soon.
(Joyeux Anniversaire, Renée!)

I love that sculpture - fantastic!
Best viewed at full size that is one amazing sculpture.
Love the framing on this one Genie. Great composition.
The "movement" of the metal sculpture surprises me. Almost can hear those hammers. I like the contrast among the gray solidness of the bridge and the yellow lightness of leaves. The living Seine...
Thank you Genie, your comment is very good. You are an artist and a Paris expert.
Great detail on the sculpture!
