The Mad Maiden, Bronze sculpture at Middelheim Museum, Belgium
The Mad Maiden stands 200 centimeters tall and 120 centimeters wide, depicting a figure in an energetic dance movement through bronze material.
Belgian artist Rik Wouters crafted this sculpture in 1912 after watching a performance by dancer Isadora Duncan in Brussels five years earlier.
The sculpture represents an early twentieth-century shift in artistic expression, moving away from traditional emotional restraint in academic art.
Visitors can find the sculpture displayed outdoors in the Middelheim Museum's garden collection, located at coordinates 51.1813273, 4.4140536.
Multiple bronze casts of The Mad Maiden exist, with copies housed in both the Middelheim Museum and the Belfius Art Collection in Brussels.
