The Slave Girl in Saint-Niklaas, Belgium

myminifactory

The sculptor's work 'Puberty' presents a refreshing simplicity and purity in the young woman's body. It offers a unique perspective on the female nude compared to his other works. The sculpture was gifted by Ernest Wijnants to his friend, painter Ernest Albert, as a wedding present. In return, Albert painted Wijnants' portrait in 1940. 'Puberty' stands out from the artist's other works like 'The Slave Hat', which depicts a crying woman stripped of her clothes, revealing greater vulnerability than 'Bacchante' and 'Grace'. The 'Slave Hat' is part of the larger group 'The Adornment of Princess', all owned by the Speth family in Kapellen.
