Le Repentir

Alabaster. A figure of a seated woman with her head resting on her knees, her long hair falling forwards. Engraved to one side: GARVENS. H 54.5 cm.
Oskar Garvens, late 19th / early 20th C.

Oscar Garvens was much more well-known around 1900 as he is today. Several of his motifs were even printed as post cards. The national gallery owns a figure of a girl sculpted by him which was purchased directly from the great Berlin art exhibition in 1905.
