Has anyone ever noticed how a simple chair can hold so much emotion? Here at the Fille sur une chaise statue, we see not just bronze and metal, but a captured moment of childhood. The Fille sur une chaise, or “Girl on a Chair,” is more than just a sculpture. It is a story whispered in bronze by Danish artist Keld Moseholm Jorgensen. This statue was installed in 1987, right here facing this charming kindergarten. Prince Rainier III was so captivated by Jorgensen’s work, particularly after the artist won the Florence J. Gould Foundation Prize in 1987, that he commissioned this piece. The model? Jorgensen’s own daughter. Imagine her, a little girl, sitting patiently while her father immortalized her in art. Now, her likeness graces Monaco, a gift from an artist to a prince, and a touching tribute from a father to his daughter. The original sculpture resides in Aabenraa, Denmark, Jorgensen’s birthplace. Yet, this Monaco version holds a special charm, nestled amidst the vibrant life of this city. It’s a delightful echo of childhood, forever captured in the gentle curve of a girl’s back and the simple form of a chair.
