Young Megara Girl Sitting and Spinning Louis-Ernest Barrias

The marble composition for this piece was completed in 1870 but the plaster cast was made in 1867. It has also been issued in bronze and wax.

Surprisingly, the title does not necessarily refer to Megara the wife of Hercules in Greek Mythology but rather a young girl from the town of Megara in West Attica, Greece.

Louis-Ernest Barrias was born in Paris into a family of artists, he fought in the Siege of Paris and became a very poupular artists in his day, even teaching at the L’Ecole des Beaux-arts from 1894 until his death in 1905.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
