Walter Pompe, A terracotta figure of Saint Anthony by Walther Pompe, Terracotta, modelled in the round and with presumably original polychromy. This depiction of a standing bearded monk holding an open book in his left hand is labelled in a barely legible inscription on the front of the plinth “S. Antoines apt”, which identifies it as a depiction of Saint Anthony. The plinth is dated “1748” and bears the conjoined monogram “WP”. It is a characteristic work by the influential Flemish sculptor Walter Pompe, who produced numerous fine works in ivory, boxwood, terracotta and marble in his workshop in Antwerp as of 1730. Wear with minor losses to the polychromy

Walter Pompe, A boxwood figure of one of the wise virgins, attributed to Walther Pompe, Boxwood, carved in the round. This standing female figure presumably originally held an oil lamp as an attribute in her right hand, marking her out as a figure from a group representing the “Wise and Foolish Virgins”. The piece is signed and dated “Anv. (.) Pompe f. 1769.” on the reverse. This finely sculpted work may have been produced by Walther Pompe, who was one of the most influential sculptors in Flanders and was active as of around 1730. However, if the first initial in the signature is meant to be read as a “J”, then the work's author may have been Walther Pompe's equally talented son and pupil Jan Engelbert Pompe (1743-1810). Some very minor wear
