The Rebecca statue, located in Place des Cordeliers in La Rochelle, is a remarkable example of 19th-century urban heritage. It depicts an elegant young woman holding a jug, captured in a graceful gesture suggesting the flow of water. Made of cast iron, the sculpture was originally part of a public fountain, at a time when such structures played a vital role in daily life. Its classical style, inspired by antiquity, highlights the harmony of proportions and the fluidity of movement. Subtle yet full of character, it blends seamlessly into the historic urban landscape of La Rochelle and reflects the artistic refinement of its time.
