This first HD photo shows one of the porthole style windows on the Pavillon Daru with its bas relief details surrounding it, which was named La Justice et la Fraternite, that translates in English to The Justice and the Fraternity.
This next image shows the left hand side bas relief, or low relief called La Justice, which was sculpted by Victor Edmond Leharivel-Durocher, who was born in Chanu within the Normandy region of France in 1816, yet went to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under the direction of Augustin Dumont and Jules Ramey.
First presenting works at the 1846 Salon for French artists, Victor Edmond Leharivel-Durocher started to receive commissions for statues and sculptures on numerous churches, plus three different orders for the former Palais du Louvre, including this one of The Fraternity.
So here you can see the ground floor level of the Aile Daru facade with the two porthole style windows and their bas relief decorations, and in fact, both of these were sculpted by Victor Edmond Leharivel-Durocher back in the 1850s during the major transformation project undertaken on The Louvre.
However, this photograph shows the entire northern facade of this ornate pavilion, and to get to see La Justice et la Fraternite to the left hand side of the doorway, along with the other features, you would need to be within the courtyard called the Cour Napoleon.
