A splendid vintage collectible statuette by Marbell (Stone Art Belgium), dating back to the second half of the 20th century (probably the 1970s). The work depicts with extraordinary sweetness a little girl tenderly embracing a small seal, combining essential forms with a deep emotional charge. Marbell sculptures are renowned for their mid-century modernist style, characterized by soft lines. A pressed sandstone blend gives the object a matte, porous, and textured finish. A minimalist decorative piece, perfect as a small art object on a shelf, inside a bookcase, or as a refined desk paperweight.
It is in excellent vintage condition. The surface patina and slight color variations are natural characteristics of the worked sandstone of the period.
