Loper 1 1923 - 1925

"Loper 1" is a bronze sculpture created by Dutch artist Saar de Swart between 1923 and 1925. The sculpture depicts a seated figure, likely a woman, with flowing drapery and a child in her arms. De Swart, known for his expressive and often melancholic figures, captures the essence of human connection and tenderness in this work. The sculpture's simplistic yet powerful form is typical of de Swart's mature style, which blended elements of Art Nouveau with a sense of realism.
