Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Statue is feminine in French because it derives from Latin *statua*, which was grammatically feminine, likely due to the feminine ending *-a* that was common in Latin's first declension. The gender was preserved when the word entered French and remained feminine even as the *-a* ending eventually disappeared in French pronunciation.
