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.
