Amazon by James Pradier, 1852 Cirque dhiver (Winter Circus), rue Amelot Quartier de la Folie-M�ricourt, 11e arrondissement Paris, July 2012 �Two equestrian statues framed the entrance: a seductive Amazon by James Pradier on the left (which is said to have been modeled after the famous equestrienne, Antoinette Lejars, and was the second version of a statue whose first version adorned the fa�ade of the Cirque des Champs-Eys�es), and a Greek warrior by Duret and Bosio, on the right. Frieze and statues are still in evidence today, but the Victory holding a lantern, which originally topped the building, has long disappeared.� ( Cirque dHiver , Circopedia)
