This larger than life sculpture of a girl weeping was scanned in Paris' famous Montparnasse cemetery. Established in 1824, Cimetière de Montparnasse is surrounded by memorials, historical relics, and works of art that make the cemetery truly fascinating to explore. Among its most notable works of art is this weeping girl sculpture; it depicts a young girl mourning with her hair and hands covering her face. Like many historical monuments and sculptures, the work was crafted from stone. Unfortunately, the artist behind the sculpture remains unknown, but historians believe it dates back to the 19th century.
