Jef Lambeaux, The Sower, 1890s-1910s, Bronze

About This Piece

Artistic :

“The Sower” represents a vigorous young man, shirtless, in the act of sowing seeds. The sculpture accurately captures the dynamic movement and physical effort of the sower, with every muscle and line of his body rendered with remarkable fidelity. The face, marked by intense concentration, and the posture, tilted forward, give this work a unique emotional depth.

The posture of the sower, captured in full movement, offers an impression of life and energy.
