Artist Reply: Thank you AL . Yes this is a statue of the poet FREDERIC MISTRAL (1830 -1914) born in PROVENCE. MELLANE . South of FRANCE. HE was also an Essayist and Novelist . He was nominated 6 times before winning the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1904. In this representation HE missed his cane .
This statue in located in PARIS in a garden called the JARDIN des POETES where many verses of poems and busts of famous poets such as VICTOR HUGO. BAUDELAIRE . ALEXANDER POUCHKINE ...... and many others are engraved on stones . I love this peaceful garden
