Jacob Bendien's "Sculpture" is a bronze free-form sculpture that was created in 1933. The sculpture's smooth, flowing lines and organic forms are characteristic of the Art Deco movement. Bendien, a Dutch sculptor, tragically died the same year he completed this work at the age of 43. It's notable that he completed this piece just a few months before his death, offering a poignant glimpse into his artistic vision. The sculpture, with its simple, elegant form, is a testament to Bendien's artistic talent and the enduring beauty of Art Deco design.

Jacob Bendien was one of the pioneers of abstract art in the Netherlands. His paintings from around 1913 were the visual translation of feelings and ideas into pure colour bounded by graceful lines. Only once did he make an abstract sculpture, shortly before his death 20 years later: an organic form rising up, seemingly determined to detach itself from its base.
