280 Rue Saint-Honoré
I walk past this building many times daily when I am in Paris.
What caused me to look up and see the sweet face of a cherub this time?
There was not a date on the building that I could see, and on the other end of this transom was another cherub with his back turned to the street and the notation of the engineering company, "Canal et Schuhl"
(l'anniversaire d'Auguste Rodin)

What a sweet face. Really a great sculpture.
That is a baby face
Hello Genie:
How fascinating this is. And now you will always look up when you pass that way!
It is a beautiful sculpture Genie. Historical pieces such as these add to the charm of grand old cities like Paris.
The sculpture is funny to find here by the architect's name. Can you imagine them planning it? Here’s my Dreaming of France meme if you want to play along.
I always wonder if they used the face of a relative, loved one or client for their inspiration. This is a sweet face ... Perhaps the sculptor's child?
we both noticed something 'new' on our walks ... new to us anyway
It's the sign of a good blogger to find things like this one! (Be careful of where you put your feet!) :-)
That cherub looks really strange with a huge thigh and comparatively small torso.
A beautiful way to leave a track behind..
I really like this photo. The cherub has such an innocent and sweet face. :)
What a nice discovery !!
What a sweetheart of a cherub. You never know what you are going to find when you look UP! the other genie
this is a sweet face on the cherub.
Nice hommage !
In order to actually see and notice ALL the artistic details on the buildings of France, one would have to walk while continuously looking up. That, of course, would result in some very messy shoes most days.
Lovely photo as ever Genie. I love the details of Paris.
I love your detailed photos. And belated congrats on being invited to join the daily photo community.
You know I love it when you focus in on the details (as you do SO well).
Thank you for your comments. This building could do with a cleaning, but the soiled appearance gives a haunting effect... I hope that I have a shot of the other cherub to show another day.
Bises,
Genie
This is the kind of thing that always catches my eye. I don't always post them, but I do see them and take their pictures.
The cherub sculpture is exquisite. The fine work is so captivating. The innocence of the cherub is clearly written on its face.
