This man with the head of a gull is hoisted on a hybrid support, which is as much from the perch as from the mast and its yard. He wears a pea coat, the emblematic garment of seafarers: navigators, fishermen, pirates… Installed on the esplanade of the Museum of Le Havre, surrounded by buildings, Mr. Goéland stretches towards the sky, as if to seek the sea present around. This monumental sculpture in painted bronze, 2m80, is placed on a perch of 3m20.
