Monica van Dael - Girl's head 1/7 on plinth
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 her face in a broad, expressive sweep. The combination of smooth, soft facial surfaces and the richly textured hair creates an intriguing contrast between tranquility and dynamism. The subtle curves of the face give the sculpture a serene, almost dreamlike quality, drawing attention to the girl's delicate expression.
The dark patina, enriched with green nuances, allows the surface to respond vibrantly to light and shadow and enhances the sculptural depth. Its compact yet powerful form makes this work suitable as a subtle focal point in both modern and classic interiors. The sleek base elevates the sculpture, giving it a timeless, almost museum-like presentation.
This refined and characterful artwork embodies both poetry and sculptural power, and is a special collector's piece within the limited edition of seven, of which this is number 1.
