The sculpture is a significant milestone in the development of sculpture. Its style is characterised by a sense of simplification and monumentality, combined with a more voluminous and softer treatment of details. Beauneveu’s work has had a great influence throughout the Netherlands. This rare remaining piece from his body of work is a highly important reference point for understanding sculpture in the Netherlands (high benchmark value).
