Aloïs De Beule (1861–1935) (Attr) 'Our Lady of the Congo' patinated terracotta (1891), Gothic Revival.

An antique sculpture 'Our Lady of the Congo.'

Beside him is a lion and a shield, standing proudly in front of Our Lady with Child.

Commissioned for a church in Matadi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and ordered in 1891.

According to historical records, it was commissioned from a 'Master Sculptor' in Ghent, and is therefore attributed to Aloïs de Beule or the 'Bressers-Blanchart' workshop.
