The supposed death-mask of the young girl known as L'Inconnue.
The legend is that she was a young 19th century woman who drowned herself in the Seine, possibly because of an unhappy love affair, but that when she was fished out they found her so beautiful that her death mask was turned into an icon and a muse for poets and artists.
To this day we do not know who she is.
