Abstract Marble Sculpture by Jan Keustermans
Located in Vlimmeren, BE
This abstract sculpture in Portuguese marble was sculpted ‘en taille directe’ by the Belgian artist Jan Keustermans. The soft pink veins of the Portuguese marble are beautiful. The sculpture is not signed. It is a unique piece, one of his most recent work.
