Ontwerp voor een penning (?) van gips 1876 - 1947

"Ontwerp voor een penning (?) van gips" (Design for a Coin (?) of Plaster) is a 10.4 cm diameter, 1.3 cm thick, round, white plaster relief sculpture by Dutch artist Lambertus Zijl (1866-1947). The artwork depicts a young woman, likely a child, with a flowing dress, in a simplified, almost cartoon-like style. Zijl's work often focused on portraiture and figural representation. Though intended for a coin, its large size and sculpted details hint at the potential for a larger work, further demonstrating Zijl's versatility and exploration of different artistic mediums.
