Title: Shepherd with Sheep
Object: Cast medal, bronze
Dimensions: 63mm
Quality: Beautiful
Christel Seth-Höfner from Austria, who took lessons with Esser, has focused in particular on animals and landscapes in her medal oeuvre. The latter in particular is a little-used subject in Dutch medal art. She designed a thin, bulging token, breathing in an evening atmosphere. A shepherd with his sheep seen from the back. One thinks of the parable of the good shepherd. The pyramidal structure of the composition suggests a large herd following the shepherd. The reverse shows a group of sheep close up from the front. Although remarkably little detail, the woolliness, the drooping ears and the grazing come out beautifully. The concavity of the reverse side is used to emphasize the plasticity of the group of animals in the center of the face. In this way the front and back sides respond to each other, as if a story is being told. So really that resemblance? #Louk Tilanus, Handy Sculpture
