Delicate and strong
In the face of the woman are sloping planes between the eyes and the cheeks. The slim nose along with a narrow nose lead to the pointed chin.
This is a completely different on top of her eyebrows. This plane becomes more and more rough where it is difficult to see her ears and perhaps two knots in her hair.
This woman seems to be a woman who is both delicate and strong. Or maybe she has experienced both pleasant times but also has known turbulent times.

Delicaat en sterk
In het gezicht van deze vrouw zijn er glooiende vlakken tussen de ogen en de wangen. De slanke neus komt tezamen met een smalle neus uit op een spitse kin.
Dit is geheel anders dan het vlak boven de wenkbrauwen. Dit vlak wordt steeds ruiger waarin met moeite haar oren en misschien ook twee knotjes in haar haren zijn te zien.
Dit lijkt mij een vrouw die zowel delicaat als sterk is. Of misschien heeft zij zowel aangename tijden meegemaakt maar ook turbulente tijden heeft gekend.

Véronique Wiesinger, Alberto Giacometti: Woman with chariot (book):
"The Woman on the Cart,created inexile, is the only plaster sculpture by Alberto Giacometti in a German museum that demonstrates his signature and functioning in detail.
The woman, who can be identified as an homage to his friend Isabel Nicholas, stands on a massive cube base, which sits on a low, four-wheeled wooden cart.
The newly introduced theme of the cart is an essential part of the impact and importance of the figure: Stillness and vibrancy create a dramatic tension. This also marks the second version of the cart created in 1950; It recalls ancient chariots, but even more so ceremonial Celtic origins.
Thus the sculpture becomes a cycle of triumph and death, a memorial for the living and the dead.
