Josine Croin (1952) - Beschermend stel

Signed on the back of the sculpture.

This bronze sculpture by Josine Croin shows two figures connected in a protective embrace, forming one compact and harmonious shape. The soft curves and closed posture give the work a sense of security and mutual connection, without being expressive or exaggerated. Josine Croin's modeling is kept slightly rough, allowing the surface to catch the light in a natural way and the subtle lines and transitions to remain beautifully visible.

The way the two bodies flow into each other gives the sculpture a timeless and universal appearance. The warm dark-brown patina contributes to the calm atmosphere and emphasizes the gentleness of the form. Despite its compact volume, the sculpture maintains elegance through the flowing contours and the balanced composition.

The result is a sculpture that subtly embodies warmth, connection, and humanity. This piece really comes into its own in interiors where calm, tenderness, and a sense of togetherness are valued.
