Same or different statue in Strasbourg
 
My wife and I are having a disagreement as to whether or not these two statues are one and the same. Any Strasbourgeois readers who could settle the issue?

Sculpture by Mimmo Paladino. It was purchased for the state museums by the Region Council of Alsace in 1997. The title of the sculpture is Hortus Conclusus.

The picture on the left was taken in 1998, the one on the right 2019.
My bet is one statue, different millenia

Thank you.

I don't think it's just the millenia, it's totally different places, of course-- it's on the modern art museum grounds now, so I suspect perhaps it was on display outside the Bishops Palace for a while right after they bought it.
