About the Item

This evocative Klara Sever sculpture, titled “Portrait of a Woman,” offers a compelling fusion of surrealist sensibility and modernist abstraction. Cast in black-patinated plaster, the form emerges organically, its fluid lines coalescing into a stylized human visage that feels both familiar and dreamlike 1stDibs +1 . Mounted on a sleek wooden plinth, the piece stands approximately 22" high, 12" wide, and 9" deep—ideal for commanding attention on a pedestal or console 1stDibs . Sever’s mastery is evident in how she navigates the space between figuration and abstraction: the face seems to rise naturally from the mass, its features simultaneously defined and ambiguous, inviting prolonged contemplation. This sculpture exemplifies the creative interplay between material, form, and perception, making it a standout in both modern and surrealist art circles. For collectors, it ticks several important boxes—it represents mid-20th-century modernist exploration, is signed by Sever alongside Austin Productions, and carries the distinctive organic elegance that defines her oeuvre 1stDibs . Whether exhibited in a minimalist gallery setting or woven into a richly styled interior, this sculpture brings depth, intrigue, and artistic sophistication. It’s not merely decorative—it’s a tactile expression of surrealist artistry and sculptural craftsmanship.
