Rather than idealising the body, Van Pallandt concentrated on posture, balance and the distribution of weight. The crossed arms and compact stance create a figure that feels both self-contained and remarkably alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough intimate in scale, the sculpture has the monumentality characteristic of Van Pallandt’s best work: the body is reduced to essential volumes without losing its humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMuseum reference\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother cast of this exact model is held in the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, inventory number BK-1982-9. It has the same dimensions—21.5 × 8 × 6 cm—and was donated to the museum by Charlotte van Pallandt in 1982. The Rijksmuseum cast bears the mark of the renowned Parisian foundry Valsuani.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Charlotte van Pallandt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharlotte van Pallandt occupies a central position in twentieth-century Dutch sculpture. After studying in Paris with André Lhote, she devoted herself increasingly to sculpture and studied with Charles Malfray, whose approach to spatial composition became important to her development. The human figure remained central to her practice throughout her career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1958, Van Pallandt represented the Netherlands at the 29th Venice Biennale, where her small, powerful bronze nudes attracted critical attention. That same year she received the Prix de la Critique. Her work is represented in major Dutch museum collections, including the Rijksmuseum and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charlotte van Pallandt (1898–1997)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eStaande met gekruiste armen (Standing Woman with Crossed Arms)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e circa 1952–53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze with black patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast signature ‘VPALLANDT’ on the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H. 21.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Netherlands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLiterature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLambert Tegenbosch \u0026amp; Maite Koekkoek, \u003cem\u003eCharlotte van Pallandt.
