Featured Plaster figurine trying to ID

Hey folks, happy Saturday!

I've had this plaster figurine for a while and never had time to identify the maker. It's a weird piece, but I like it. Approx. 19,5 cm.

Thanks in advance!
Erik

 

Folker Lindberg or Lundberg?

 

Folke?

Wikipedia: Folke is a Swedish male given name, which means "chief", derived from the Old Norse folk. As of 2004, in Sweden there are 20,100 persons named Folke.

 

Folke is possible, although I see an r at the end.

Folker and Folkert are first names here in northern Europe. Here in The Netherlands it is usually Folkert, or even Volkert, but I have heard Folker, Folke and Folger in north Germany, Denmark and Scandinavia.
Holger, also a name, could be a derivative.

 

Almost like a weird death mask ! I love it !

 

Folke is the first name (pretty sure) but the last is too difficult to decipher. I see L(i)nderry which doesn't make sense. Erik, are you in Finland? It could very well be from a Scandinavian country. Very expressive.

 

Erik is in Estonia, so close to Scandinavia.

The name is certainly a northern European one.

 

Sweet...an' strangely compelling...she evokes immediate sympathy (empathy?), in me, anyway. Thanks!

Very good, johnny...an' sculpted by a highly skilled artist!

 

She looks like a takeoff on La Bell Inconnue. The lady was a beautiful but totally anonymous woman whose body was pulled from the Seine in the 1840s if memory serves. They never could indentify her, although they sure tried. Her face ended up being used for CPR practice dummies for a very long time.

 

We know here overhere as "L'Inconnue de la Seine":

I don't see the resemblance though.

 

There isn't a lot, but she has her eyes closed and kind of looks like she's asleep.
