A powerful and elongated ceramic sculpture by Dutch artist Sjer Jacobs, created in the 1990s. The figure is depicted standing upright with raised arms, forming a strong vertical composition that evokes both ritual and stillness.
The surface is richly textured and subtly layered in earthy tones, emphasizing the hand built character of the work. The contrast between the simplified body and the expressive, almost iconic face gives the sculpture a timeless and introspective quality.
Jacobs’ work often explores the human figure in a raw and essential manner, balancing fragility with monumentality. In this piece, the stretched proportions and upward gesture create a sense of elevation and quiet strength.
A sculptural work with a distinct presence both grounded and contemplative.
Condition
Very good condition, with light wear consistent with age.
