Lapp Head 1901 - 1925

"Lapp Head" is a plaster sculpture by Swedish artist Leander Engström, created between 1901 and 1925. The sculpture depicts the head of a Sami person, with a strong focus on the face. The simplified, geometric features and the closed eyes create a sense of stoicism and resilience, perhaps reflecting the Sami people's history and culture. The work is now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. This sculpture is a testament to Engström's interest in depicting the unique features and character of the Sami people.
