Sculpture on a rainy day

view map

In November 2002 the Dublin City Council erected a sculpture entitled
"An Cailín Bán" (= The Fair Girl)
by the Mexican artist Sebastian.
The sculpture was donated to the City by the Mexican Government
and now stands as a significant focal point at the northern end of Sandymount Promenade.

After looking at this picture (and I thank you for the visit),
if you have a little time,
you might like to visit also our Virtual Art Gallery
where there is now a photo competition being exhibited
(obviously the competition doesn’t include any of my photos,
but it’s based on many beautiful photos submitted by PBase members;
I simply help to organize and host that)
If you like what you see there
you may be motivated to express your preference there
to help determine the winners.
Thank you

effective framing and strong atmosphere from the wintery hues...although the sculpture reminds more of a dress than a girl...V

You've made art of art. This is a wonderful image. V

One can see many things in the shapes and shadows of the girl & the blue is just perfect!

Very peaceful image with the blue sky and strand behind it - reminds me of an angel.

That is a very different sculpture. Nicely captured.
