"Nude Male with Shovel, " Highly Rare Bronze Sculpture by Oskar Lindenberg

About the Item

A rare work by Oskar Lindenberg, a German sculptor who produced few pieces during his productive years, this beautiful nude male bronze captures its subject with his head turned down and to the left, his hands behind him, holding a shovel in the horizontal position. It's almost as if the sculptor is capturing a dancer with his hands on the barre behind him, readying to take a step forward. Lindenberg has captured the musculature of the nude beautifully, and has given the bronze a lustrous, rich dark brown patina. The sculpture is signed on the base.

  • "Male Athlete with Kettlebell", Rare Bronze Sculpture with Male Nude by Seifert
    By Franz Seifert
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    This highly rare bronze of a nude male athlete preparing to left a heavy kettlebell weight was sculpted by an Austrian artist, Franz Seifert, in 1922. Although Seifert is known for his nude figures straining to accomplish physical tasks -- such as carrying a large bucket or splitting a stone -- this sculpture is the only example known to exist. A decade after this sculpture was cast, Seifert carved a marble portrait of Siegfried Marcus, inventor of the gasoline-powered car, for a monument in Vienna, which includes a nude male figure in bas relief racing forward on the upper edge of an automobile wheel. He also created a large sculpture grouping honoring Empress Elizabeth...
