'''Wounded Niobid''' (French: ''Niobide blessé''), also known as ''Niobide blesse [detail #2]'', is a notable sculpture by the Swiss-born French artist James Pradier. Created in the 19th century, this work is part of a series of sculptures that depict the tragic tale of Niobe from Greek mythology. Niobe, the daughter of Tantalus and the queen of Thebes, boasted of her numerous children, which led to the goddess Artemis and god Apollo killing them as a punishment for her hubris. The sculpture captures the moment of suffering and vulnerability, portraying one of Niobe's daughters, a Niobid, in the throes of death.

Pradier, who was a prominent figure in French sculpture during his time, is known for his neoclassical style, which is characterized by its clarity of form, serene composition, and the idealization of the human body. ''Wounded Niobid'' exemplifies these qualities, showcasing Pradier's skill in rendering the human figure and his ability to convey intense emotion through marble. The sculpture's detail, fluidity of lines, and the dramatic expression of pain contribute to its artistic significance.

The work is a testament to Pradier's mastery of the neoclassical tradition and his innovative approach to mythological themes. ''Wounded Niobid'' is not only a reflection of Pradier's artistic prowess but also an embodiment of the 19th-century artistic preoccupation with themes of mortality, beauty, and the sublime. The sculpture remains an important piece in the oeuvre of James Pradier and continues to be studied for its aesthetic and historical value in the context of 19th-century European art.
