La separation du couple (1)

01 Dec 2013 532
This monument in Montparnasse cemetery in Paris didn't appear to have an inscription so I don't know what it is for. Any information gratefully received. Pentax MX, Fuji 200 film, possibly my 50mm f/1,2 lens. I found this comment on the web: "Un groupe en marbre situé face au monument des Sergents de La Rochelle, représente un homme pleurant tandis que sa femme à moitié engloutie dans la tombe lui adresse un ultime adieu, n’est pas un monument funéraire. Il s’agit de la Séparation du couple, par De Max, transportée ici en 1965 après avoir été retirée du jardin du Luxembourg où elle avait été jugée trop obscène."
