Statuettes

One of my favourite masterpieces, “The Thinker”, together with “Woman sitting” (also known as “The Thinker and his companion”) will start an European tour, first in Switzerland, then in Belgium and other European countries, in an exhibition including 1,200 works from 39 museums, dedicated to the neolithic period. But, before that, they can be admired, for three months, at the National Museum of History, in Bucharest, during a preview - “The birth of a great exhibition: “A l’aube d’ Europe. Les grandes cultures neolithiques de Roumanie”

The two pottery figurines belong to Hamangia Culture from middle neolithics, second half of the 6th millenium BC.
