Woman with Chariot

Woman with Chariot is a bronze sculpture in Holstebro depicting a female figure standing beside a wheeled cart with carefully crafted details. The work displays the precise metalwork typical of its materials and construction method.

The work was created in the 1950s when Danish sculptors produced a wave of pieces for public spaces. This period marked a shift toward art installations that explored everyday life and rural themes.

The sculpture depicts a woman with a cart, connecting traditional work scenes to how roles were understood in Danish society. This link between daily labor and artistic form appears throughout public art from this period.

The sculpture sits in an open area near municipal buildings where you can view it from all sides during daylight hours. The location is straightforward to reach and gives you space to study the details from different angles.

The cart wheels have kept their shiny metallic finish through repeated contact with visitors passing by. This ongoing physical interaction between the artwork and the public has shaped the material over time.
