Small version on the front. The large version, three meters high, was acquired the then Queen Beatrix for her sculpture garden at Huis ten Bosch. When she moved to Drakensteyn, the statue found a place in its garden.
Large sculpture finally achieving its context often involves moments of sheer bliss. Some time ago I was asked to make ‘The Sun’ for Queen Beatrix and after it had been installed, a valet appeared from the palace, stepping onto the lawn and presenting to us a salver with two glasses of white wine.
