This sculpture type by Belgian sculptor Charles Van der Stappen is one of a series of group pieces depicting allegories of art. The other models of the same style vary with different figures accompanying the main subject. The bronze original can be found outside of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels on the building's front facade. The figures symbolise art inspiration. It is unclear who the two figures beside the winged female, the left perhaps represents the Varvakeion Athena.

Beautiful model but quite complex model, it is difficult to clean supports, especially horns and small sculpture that man holding critical parts. It should be print big enough to make support cleaning process easier. Clean it gently and carefully. Enjoy your print.
