AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Signed and numbered (1/7) on the plinth.
This elegant bronze sculpture by Monica van Dael depicts a girl’s head with wavy hair that fans out behind the face in a broad, expressive motion. The combination of smooth, soft planes in the face and the richly textured strands of hair creates an intriguing contrast between calm and dynamism. The subtle curves of the face give the sculpture a serene, almost dreamlike appearance, drawing attention to the delicate expression of the girl.
The dark patina, enriched with green nuances, makes the surface respond vividly to light and shadow and enhances the sculptural depth. The compact yet powerful form makes this piece suitable as a subtle focal point in both modern and classical interiors. The sleek pedestal lifts the sculpture and gives it a timeless, almost museum-like presentation.
This refined and distinctive artwork embodies both poetry and sculptural power, and represents a special collectible within a limited edition of seven, of which this is number 1.
