Garden sculpture

This is a beautifully modelled bronze sculpture of a seated woman, attributed to Dutch artist Petra Vlieger from Emst, The Netherlands. The work exhibits Vlieger’s characteristic style: rounded, organic forms, a quiet and introspective posture, and a strong sense of presence and simplicity. The sculpture shows a woman seated with her hands resting on her lap and one leg crossed over the other — a recurring motif in Vlieger’s figurative work. The surface has a rich, natural patina from outdoor display, which adds depth and authenticity to the piece. Petra Vlieger is known for her intimate bronze figures and her ability to capture everyday human quietude. Pieces of this size and type are increasingly sought after by collectors of Dutch figurative sculpture. Condition Structurally sound bronze with no cracks or repairs. Weathering consistent with age and outdoor placement. Can be cleaned or restored professionally if desired, but many collectors prefer the original patina. Provenance From a private collection, with a handwritten reference to Petra Vlieger, Emst found on the reverse of an accompanying photograph.
