About the Item

Exceptional hand-carved wooden sculpture by Danish artist Jens Jacob Nielsen Bregnoe (1877–1944), created in the 1920s. This is the only known work in wood by the artist, making it a truly unique piece. It depicts a dynamic female figure in motion, gracefully arched with arms raised and one leg extended. The alternation of dark and light wood in the skirt enhances its visual rhythm and sculptural tension. The work is signed by the artist on the back of the hat. Entirely hand-carved, this piece represents a rare example of Scandinavian modernist sculpture from the early 20th century.
