Constructie van staande vrouwenfiguur 1939

"Constructie van staande vrouwenfiguur" (Construction of a Standing Female Figure) is a bronze sculpture by Dutch artist Charlotte van Pallandt, created in 1939. The abstract, cubist-inspired piece depicts a female figure reduced to its essential geometric forms. The fragmented, skeletal-like structure suggests both strength and vulnerability, reflecting a shift in art toward a more simplified, essentialist approach in the pre-war period. Van Pallandt's work often explored themes of the human form and its relationship to space, making this small, but striking, sculpture a significant example of her artistic style.
