Frits Sieger Terracotta Reclining Nude - May 1945, Dutch Liberation Sculpture (25 cm)
(1 out of set of 2, other one also available in our etay shop dolmenantiquetiles.etsy.com)
A rare and expressive terracotta reclining nude sculpture by the Dutch sculptor Frits Sieger (1893-1990), dated May 1945, symbolizing the liberation of the Netherlands at the end of World War II.
This handmade figure shows a reclining female nude, modelled with natural grace and a serene expression that reflects Sieger's deeply humanistic style. The warm terracotta surface has a soft, earthy patina, emphasizing the artist's connection to the material. On the underside is an original handwritten label reading "Frits Sieger, Mei 1945".
Frits Sieger was an Amsterdam-based sculptor associated with the Amsterdam School movement, known for his figurative works in stone, bronze and terracotta. His public sculptures — such as the Naaktfiguur near the Blauwe Theehuis in Amsterdam's Vondelpark — show the same sensitivity to form, balance and emotion seen in this intimate studio piece.
Created in the very month of Dutch liberation, this small sculpture carries both artistic and historical significance, representing hope and renewal after years of war.
