She is much smaller than her big Sister, she is a small scale model of the original, made from cast iron and covered in gold leaf, on her base she bears the signature of Bartholdi, she has been standing proudly and quitely above a fresh water fountain in the main square known as Portalis, in the small, attractive coastal town of St Cyr-sur-Mer, in the Var department of France since 1913. You cannot help but notice her, whilst enjoying the liberty of taking a coffee or an apertif in one of the cafes she shares the square with. Today, she represents her big Sister, I suspect not one soul who gazes upon her, cannot do so without thinking about New York.
