Johannes Wilhelmus Franciscus Offenberg's 1873 "Model voor het monument Alcmaria Victrix" depicts a winged female figure, likely an angel, in a classical style. The sculpture is a model for a larger monument, suggesting Offenberg's role in public art. The sculpture's pose, with a draped garment and outstretched arm, is reminiscent of traditional representations of victory and triumph. The inscription on the base hints at the monument's dedication to the city of Alkmaar, known for its resistance during the Eighty Years' War. The photograph captures the sculpture's detail and classical aesthetic, providing a glimpse into the work of this Dutch artist.
