  • The sculpture “Little Girl”, from the legacy of Leposava Lepa Perović, belongs to the artist’s early figurative phase.
  • The work is intimate in character, with a traditional approach to the human figure, emphasizing calm posture and emotional restraint.
  • Although rooted in realism, the sculpture already shows a tendency toward stylization, visible in simplified forms and softened contours.
  • This inclination toward stylized expression would later become a defining feature of the artist’s mature work.
  • An identical sculpture titled “Janica”, dated 1953, is preserved in the sculpture collection of the Moderna Galerija in Ljubljana, confirming the significance of this motif within the artist’s oeuvre.
