Une merveille d'un musée parisien. Ne pas confondre "les serpents à sonnettes" et "les serments à sornettes", les premiers piquent la chair, les seconds piquent le coeur.... Bravo bc, la douleur procure parfois une expression tragique de plénitude... Bravo Sbc, bises. Thierry-chiloedream.

It looks like she has been stuck by Cupid's arrow, instead.

By the way, it's the perfect image to celebrate Valentine's Day (we celebrate it today in Brazil).

she looks so beautiful and graceful, even in death...it is an elegant piece of work..beautifully photographed. Does it show her whole body>or the torso...?
Abking said at 10:45 p.m. on Jun 12, 2008:
The sculptor, and your photos, make it look like not such a bad way to go.
Debdog said at 10:58 p.m. on Jun 12, 2008:
yes, must have been quick.....;)

Beautiful photos. Perhaps the snake is a Devil's symbol . And the Sin sometimes is Pleasure.

Eh oui ... Piquées ou mordues ... Claude
PhotoPop said at 9:02 a.m. on Jul 8, 2008:
Annelies, this looks like " le petit mort". The angles, the polished stone, the expression all too sensual.
Gerardfotografeert said at 6:39 p.m. on Jul 8, 2008:
Geweldige foto's Annelies, mooie benadering van dit prachtig werk.
Leftofcenter said at 7:18 p.m. on Jul 9, 2008:
Thanks John, it must have been full moon when I took those angles... or maybe it was that April in Paris "thing"... :)
Dankjewel Gerard, le Musée d'Orsay, 5 etages met prachtig werk!
PhotoPop said at 11:10 a.m. on Jul 11, 2008:
The full moon has the same effect on me, that and a fifty dollar shave.
Sarcasma said at 12:11 a.m. on Sep 4, 2008:
Is "bitten by a snake" a euphemism here? Very sensual. Nicely shot!
Emmabro said at 8:06 a.m. on Sep 4, 2008:
