Mila van Beek - Alabaster Reclining Cow (1992)
Signed and dated (1992) on the bottom of the sculpture.
This refined alabaster sculpture by Mila van Beek depicts a reclining cow in a serene, relaxed pose. The soft, rounded shapes emphasize the animal's tranquility and simplicity, giving the sculpture a friendly, approachable appearance. The semi-transparent alabaster allows light to subtly play through the material, creating a soft, almost ethereal glow around the sculpture.
The fine details in the head, legs, and back are carefully applied, ensuring recognizability without the work becoming bogged down in excessive detail. The marble-like veins in the stone add natural nuances that give the sculpture extra depth and character. Thanks to its compact form, this sculpture is well-suited to both modern and classic interiors.
This understated artwork beautifully captures purity, nature, and tranquility. It's a warm and calming presence in any room, ideal for those who appreciate serene stone sculptures with a refined, almost poetic quality.
