Angel (one of a pair) ca. 1690–1710 Hendrik-Frans Verbruggen Flemish One of a pair, with , originally part of a shrine, altar or 'chaire', of moderate dimensions. Their attitude of turning toward a center of attention and the holes in the bottom each suggest that they were affixed at the sides and toward the top of an architectural composition, probably on the volutes. The soles of their feet are more anatomically researched and carefully executed than the tops, suggesting that they were meant to be seen from below. Their execution in the round suggests that they were meant to be seen
Angel (one of a pair) ca. 1690–1710 Hendrik-Frans Verbruggen Flemish One of a pair, with , originally part of a shrine, altar or 'chaire', of moderate dimensions. Their attitude of turning toward a center of attention and the holes in the bottom each suggest that they were affixed at the sides and toward the top of an architectural composition, probably on the volutes. The soles of their feet are more anatomically researched and carefully executed than the tops, suggesting that they were meant to be seen from below. Their execution in the round suggests that they were meant to be seen from almost any vantage point. The twisting composition, elongated bodies and faceted carving are typical of Verbrugghen's Angel (one of a pair). Hendrik-Frans Verbruggen (Flemish, Antwerp 1654–1724 Antwerp). Flemish. ca. 1690–1710. Oak. Sculpture
