Edelvrouw 1800 - 1900

"Edelvrouw" is a headless sculpture by Eugène Lacomblé, a Belgian sculptor who lived from 1828 to 1905. Created sometime between 1800 and 1900, the sculpture depicts a woman in flowing robes, her pose suggesting a moment of contemplation. The piece, rendered in a rough and unfinished style, emphasizes the texture of the material, adding to the sense of uncertainity and incompleteness, a characteristic feature of Romantic sculpture. The missing head further enhances this feeling, inviting viewers to contemplate the figure's identity and emotions.
