This evocative figurative sculpture by Francine Govers dates from the 1990s and reflects the artist’s characteristic exploration of the human form through abstraction and material sensitivity. Reduced to its essential volumes, the female body is rendered in a compact, introspective pose that conveys both physical weight and emotional restraint.
Executed in concrete and stone, the surface reveals a softly weathered, green-toned patina that enhances the sculptural depth and tactile quality of the piece. The absence of facial detail shifts the focus to posture and mass, allowing the figure to function as a timeless, almost archetypal presence rather than a literal representation.
Govers’ work often balances figuration and abstraction, and this sculpture exemplifies that tension: intimate yet monumental, restrained yet expressive. Placed on its pedestal, the work reads as a quiet but powerful sculptural statement, well suited to both private collections and architectural interiors.
Condition
