The Slave

The Slave is one of Stephan Sinding’s notable artworks, and is in a similar composition to the Mother in Bondage. Creations gaze at us by Sinding with wide, earnest eyes. Here is no unseemly posturing, no frivolity or empty phrase. All appears as though born out of the very soul of one whose vision, turned away from the monotony and the littleness of the workday world, is fixed upon the ultimate questions of the universe, and who is imbued with all the fervor of a zealous priest.
