In the southwest corner, a marble statue of Saint Joan of Arc (1412-1431) is presented on a pedestal. The Maid was canonized in 1920, in the aftermath of World War I. Charles Jean Cléophas Desvergnes was tasked with executing a model of the saint for Notre-Dame de Paris. The work was inaugurated on May 7, 1921. Joan is shown in prayer, hands clasped, wearing a helmet, armor, and a fleur-de-lis skirt.
Not on display:
Still in the cathedral, inaccessible since the fire.
