Replica Statue "Mariken van Nieumeghen" Vera van Hasselt (22 cm)
Very beautiful collectible art replica representing the famous statue "Mariken van Nieumeghen, " an emblematic work of modern Dutch artistic heritage. The original bronze monument was designed in 1957 by sculptor Vera Tummers-van Hasselt (1924-2014) and still stands today in the Grand Place (Grote Markt) of Nijmegen. This is an official vintage edition made of high-quality art resin. The mold was taken directly from the original work, and the details are remarkably precise: the molded signature "Vera van Hasselt" as well as the historical seal of the famous Binder foundry (Haarlem) are faithfully visible on the piece. The statuette features a superb nuanced patina perfectly imitating authentic bronze, offering all the visual charm of a mid-20th-century foundry piece with the practicality of a lighter weight. Its modernist and expressionist style, with its textured and raw surfaces, integrates beautifully into a Mid-Century or contemporary interior. • Artist: Vera Tummers-van Hasselt. • Subject: Mariken van Nieumeghen (Dutch folklore) • Style: Modernist / Mid-Century / Figurative. • Material: Art resin with bronze patina. • Height: 22 cm. • Base dimensions: 7.5 X 6 cm. • Weight: approx. 380 g. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition, no accidents to report.
