Frans Roy(ij)mans (Reusel 1937 -) - Statue, 'Koe' - 17 cm - Ceramic

The ceramic statue titled 'Koe' by Frans Roy(ij)mans, a Dutch artist born in 1937, represents an artistic interpretation of a cow, a common rural motif in Dutch art. At 17 cm tall, this figurine reflects the heritage of ceramic sculpture in the Netherlands, where ceramics have long been used for both functional and decorative purposes. Roy(ij)mans’s work likely combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern sensibility, capturing the essence and character of the animal in a stylized form. Such ceramic sculptures often appeal to collectors interested in animal motifs, Dutch art, or mid-20th century ceramics, and can be appreciated for both their artistic value and cultural echoes.
