Laure de Noves is a statue in Paris, displayed in the Jardin du Luxembourg among other sculptures. Auguste Louis Marie Ottin created the work.

Its subject, Laure de Noves, was a fourteenth-century historical figure associated with the poet Petrarch. The sculpture presents historical subject matter.

Ottin worked in a traditional style shaped by neoclassical themes and romantic influences. His approach remained closer to classicism than impressionism.

The statue reflects his practice of depicting mythological and historical figures through realism, depth, and dramatic expression. Ottin also exhibited his sculptures at the Salon.

He belonged to the Société Anonyme des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs as a founding member. The Prix de Rome marked his career.

That distinction enabled study in Rome and influenced the development of his artistic practice. The sculpture stands within a Parisian garden.

This setting brings Laure de Noves together with Luxembourg’s wider collection of sculptures. The recorded property identifies the statue as wheelchair accessible.
