Marie-Thérèse Marguerite Jeanne (Maïté) Duval (Maïté Rijkhart de Voogd-Duval, Renazé, 26 March 1944 – Zutphen, 2 November 2019) was a French-born Dutch sculptress and drafter.

Life and work

Maïté Duval was born in Renazé (Mayenne, Pays de la Loire, France) and studied literature at the University of Rouen Normandy. In 1968 she moved to the Netherlands where she started her career as a self-taught sculptress in 1974. Her work was presented at many group and solo exhibitions, including those at Museum Henriette Polak (Zutphen, 1978 and 1996), Singer Museum (Laren, North Holland, 1983), Galerie Mia Joosten (Amsterdam, 1998), Beeldentuin Interart (Heeswijk, 1993–1999) and Den Haag Sculptuur (The Hague, 2003).

Duval lived and worked in Zutphen, where she exhibited her works in her atelier and sculpture garden. She was married to the painter Thierry Rijkhart de Voogd (1944–1999), who was likewise of French birth.

Duval became known as a sculptress of "the female form", although there were important exceptions, like De Gans (The Goose, 1981) and IJsberen (Polar bears, 1986).

Duval died at the age of 75. Her sculpture Ingekeerd (Introverted, 1989) was placed on her grave in Zutphen.
