Søren Kongstrand: 'Det bødes der for', sculpture of earthenware with silk glaze

Automatic translation from Danish.

Søren Kongstrand (1872-1951): 'Det bødes der for', sculpture in the form of a praying naked woman made of earthenware with cracked silk glaze and a variant of the glaze 'bronze'. Signed on the side of the base S. Kongstrand. Accompanied by a loose white-painted wooden base with an accompanying loosely mounted plaque with title. Sculpture dimensions: H. 38. L. 116. W. 52 cm. Base dimensions: H. 52. L. 131. W. 53 cm. There are several glaze chips and hairline cracks on one side. Provenance: The collection after Carl Peter Sander. In 1912, the sculpture was part of Charlottenborg's Spring Exhibition and in more recent times it has belonged to and been part of the decoration at Fanø Bad.
The title is certainly inspired by J.P. Jacobsen's poem from 1875 with the same name. Literature: Described and illustrated in 'Kongstrand & Pedersen' by Ane Maria & Annimi Holst Schmidt, 2002', pp. 28-33.
