Knielende engel, half rond 1800 - 1950

"Knielende engel, half rond" (Kneeling Angel, Half Round) is a terracotta relief sculpture by Eugène Lacomblé, a Belgian artist known for his religious works. The piece depicts a winged angel kneeling in prayer, holding a long staff in one hand and a round object in the other. The sculpture, likely intended for a church or chapel, exemplifies the artist's mastery of detail and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism. The rough texture of the terracotta adds to the piece's devotional quality, evoking a sense of antiquity and spirituality.
