Nouba Hilselberger, Le Havre, Seine-Maritime (76)

The self-taught Nouba Hilselberger sculpted this model of a musician with musical instrument, which is at the résidence Atahualpa, rue Salvador Allende, Le Havre. Unfortunately we didn't at the time know of Hilselberger's other sculpture, a tribute to Stendhal in rue Stendhal, Dollemard, Le Havre. Stendhal stayed at L'Hôtel de l'Amirauté in Dollemard in 1837 in a fine room on the second floor with a view of the port,  but hated the foreign tourists staying at the hotel. The huge chimney in his room had a cast iron plaque of the three Fates, which is now on the wall in the Archives Municipales in Le Havre in Fort de Tourneville, next to the Cimetière Sainte Marie.
