About the Item
A striking and spirited bronze sculpture titled “Fritidsflickan” (The Leisure Girl), designed by acclaimed Swedish sculptor Stig Blomberg and produced by Ystad Brons in the mid-20th century.
This elegant figure of a young woman, with arms outstretched and hair flowing, captures a moment of vitality, athleticism, and freedom. The inscription “FRIIDROTT” (Track and Field) on the base indicates that this piece was originally intended as a prize or trophy for athletic competitions, a common practice in Sweden during the 1940s and 1950s.
Stig Blomberg (1901–1970) was known for his expressive, figurative sculptures and was especially celebrated for his work connected to sports and movement. His designs reflect both grace and power, often immortalizing moments of human strength and beauty.
