Twee beelden van vrouwelijk engelen met muziekinstrumenten in de hand, zittend aan weerszijden van een medaillon, gesitueerd boven een deurpartij. c. 1878 - 1881

This photographic print captures a pair of decorative sculptures created by Louis-Emile Durandelle for the Palais Garnier Opera House in Paris. The sculptures, likely made of plaster, feature two female figures, possibly angels, holding musical instruments. Their placement above a doorway adds to the grandeur of the structure. The sculptures represent a common theme in the decorative arts, where allegorical figures embodied aspects of art and culture. These decorative sculptures, created in the late 19th century, are a prime example of the ornate architectural details typical of the time.
