Nubian Woman, Bronze statue at Rheingärtchen in Pempelfort, Düsseldorf, Germany
The Nubian Woman statue depicts a female figure carrying a vase on her head while standing with her arms positioned on her hips.
German-American sculptor Bernhard Sopher created this bronze artwork in 1925, before the Nazi regime forced him to emigrate to the United States in 1935.
The statue represents traditional water carriers from Nubia, reflecting the daily responsibilities of women in North African communities through artistic expression.
Visitors can find this bronze sculpture in the garden area south of the Rheinterrasse, at coordinates 51.2353841 latitude and 6.7712108 longitude.
The figure combines classical sculptural techniques with representations of non-European subjects, marking a shift in early 20th-century German public art.
