Girl with an Orange

I found another small pretty square, Gabriel Pierné, close to the Honore Champion one I discovered last month. What struck and amused me was the beautiful ebony statue of a young girl holding an orange. I imagine the orange was placed as a joke, but somehow the bright orange against the black was a photo waiting to be taken. The statue is of Carolina, sculpted by Marcello Tomassi in 1968. Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937} was a French romantic classical composer.
