Iko, Stone statue of Mrs. de Stuers, 1920-1921, limestone from Preanger, dimensions unknown (no image available).

Presented by Iko out of gratitude to Mr. L. de Stuers (Iko considered him his protector) and his wife on the occasion of their departure from the Dutch East Indies. Mrs. De Stuers is not believed to have posed for the apparently remarkably like-looking statue. Its current whereabouts are unknown, but it may be in a Dutch collection.
