La Petite Pensee
myminifactory
Annie Chickering, Thomas Ball's eight-year-old niece, submitted an idea for this sculpture in the late 1860s. The figure deeply contemplates, staring down at the pansies and lilies resting on her bodice. The title of the piece is probably a pun combining "pansy" with pensée, the French word meaning 'thought'. This sculpture also depicts a line from act four of Shakespeare's Hamlet, in which Ophelia tells Laertes: "...and there are pansies, that's for thoughts". Thomas Ball, speaking about the sculpture in his book 'My Fourscore Year', said "...the little head 'La Petite Pensée'... has experienced an amazing success".
