A refined bronze sculpture depicting a stylized female figure, created by Francine Govers in the Netherlands during the 1990s. This elegant work captures Govers’ distinctive sculptural language, in which the human form is distilled into flowing volumes and quiet tension.
The figure is defined by smooth, elongated lines and a gently twisting posture, suggesting movement held in balance. Facial features are deliberately reduced, allowing the focus to rest on silhouette, rhythm, and material presence rather than representation. The dark brown patinated bronze enhances the sculptural depth, subtly catching the light and emphasizing the continuous curves of the body. Placed on its stone base, the sculpture reads as both intimate and monumental—a timeless exploration of femininity, strength, and stillness.
This work reflects the sculptural tradition of late 20th-century European modernism, where abstraction and figuration coexist in a calm, contemplative dialogue. A quietly powerful piece, equally suited to a curated interior or a gallery context.
About the Artist: Francine Govers is a Dutch sculptor known for her expressive bronze figures that balance abstraction with the essence of the human form. Working primarily in bronze, her sculptures explore posture, movement, and inner presence rather than anatomical detail. Govers’ work is characterized by a restrained yet emotional approach, aligning her practice with modern European figurative sculpture of the late 20th century.
