Allegorical group c. 1782 - 1784

This porcelain sculpture, "Allegorical group," created by Loosdrecht between 1782 and 1784, features a group of four figures in a dynamic composition. The central figure, a bust of a woman on a pedestal, is surrounded by three other figures, including a woman holding a child and a man gesturing dramatically. The piece is an example of 18th-century Neoclassical sculpture, characterized by its emphasis on classical themes, idealized forms, and a focus on emotional expression. The sculpture is on display in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the era.
