Female Articulated wooden artist mannequin.

Female Articulated wooden artist mannequin.

An early 20th-century articulated wooden female artist’s lay figure, finely carved and jointed throughout. The figure is constructed from richly patinated walnut with a deep, warm tone, showing signs of age and handling consistent with use. Its simplified yet anatomically proportionate form features well-defined torso curvature and articulated joints at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles, allowing for a wide range of posing. The head and limbs are smoothly turned, with subtle hand and foot shaping. Such lay figures were traditionally used by artists and sculptors as adjustable models for studying human proportion, anatomy, and pose before the widespread availability of photographic reference. This example, distinctly feminine in form, reflects both the artistry and practicality of 19th and early 20th century studio tools. Dimensions: H60 cm / 23.62 inch.

An important plaster cast by Alfons Lambert Baggen (Geleen 1862-1937 Borgerhout). Circa 1900-1920s Signed A. Baggen.

An important plaster cast by Alfons Lambert Baggen (Geleen 1862-1937 Borgerhout). Circa 1900-1920s Signed A. Baggen. Dimensions: H67 x W71.5 x B51.6 cm. H26.38 x W28.15 x B20.31inch. In addition to the bronze statue, we now also have the original plaster cast of " Avant L'Attaque" in our collection. it's quite rare and historically important to have both together. Plaster casts were working models: Sculptors like Alfons Lambert Baggen used plaster as an intermediate step between clay and the final bronze. They were not usually intended for public display and often didn't survive long (plaster is fragile, sensitive to humidity, and easily damaged). Bronzes were the final artworks: These were the durable, finished pieces, meant for collectors or institutions. Once the bronze was made, the plaster was often discarded or lost. Pairing is unusual: To still have the original plaster alongside the bronze it led to is rare. Museums and archives sometimes hold both for documentation, but in private collections it's far less common. Having both gives a unique insight into Baggen's process - you can compare how details, textures, and patinas shifted from the plaster to the bronze. Collectors and historians value this kind of pairing because it preserves both the idea (plaster) and the execution (bronze).
