Bronze with brown patina. With the monogram on the underside. Height: 22 cm.
The original plaster and possibly the bronze or zinc cast were lost during his lifetime. In 1993, Isermeyer mentions only two later casts in private ownership (including his own copy). [KA].
- Very rare. One of only two known bronze re-casts. - Inspired by ancient imagery, the figure is a beautiful representation of human proportions. - In 2006, Blumenthal's artistic work was honored in the exhibition “Sterngucker. Hermann Blumenthal und seine Zeit” at the Georg-Kolbe-Museum in Berlin, on the occasion of the artist's 100th birthday.
