Alexandria’s Statue of Nubar Pasha presents a seated statesman in bronze, surrounded by the greenery of a garden. Nubar Pasha sits firmly on a chair here. One hand touches a tablet engraved with scales, a visible symbol associated with balance and fairness. A small bronze tablet carries engraved balance scales. French sculptor Denys Pierre Puech created the work, whose calm face and folded robe convey quiet dignity. Denys Pierre Puech was a French sculptor. The monument honours Nubar Pasha, Egypt’s first prime minister in the late nineteenth century. Nubar Pasha served as Egypt’s first prime minister.

Alexandria first displayed the statue in a central square before it moved to a quieter setting near the theatre. The statue stands in a garden near the theatre. Greenery and birdsong soften the bronze, placing a civic monument within a setting shaped by daily movement. Birdsong rises around the garden beside the bronze. This setting links public art with a remembered statesman and the idea of dialogue between cultures. Bronze meets civic memory in this Alexandria garden. Look closely at the seated figure, the robe’s folds, the calm expression, and the scales beneath one hand. The seated figure wears a robe with visible folds. Together, these details show how a public monument can preserve political history through posture, material, and symbol. Engraved scales mark the tablet beside his hand.
