About the Item
Rare and possibly unique bronze bust crafted in 1925 by renowned Danish sculptor and author Sofus J. Nervil (1874-1941). This piece exemplifies the elegance of Danish Art Deco, reflecting the influence of esteemed sculptor Einar Utzon Frank. The bust, possibly portraying Nervil’s daughter or a close family member, has remained within the artist’s family until now.
Signed “Sofus J. Nervil 1925” on the side
The bust is in good condition, exhibiting minor scratches and notches consistent with its age, including slight abrasions on the nose and a small white spot at the nape.
Sofus J. Nervil was a distinguished Danish sculptor educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His oeuvre includes acclaimed statues that garnered prestigious awards and grants. Beyond sculpture, Nervil authored numerous works on yoga and occultism, reflecting a profound interest in Eastern mysticism and Asian religions that captivated Europe in the late 19th century.
This bust has been preserved within the artist’s family, offering a unique opportunity to acquire a piece with direct lineage to Sofus J. Nervil.
This bronze bust is not only a testament to Nervil’s artistic prowess but also a representation of the Danish Art Deco movement. Its direct provenance enhances its historical and collectible value, making it a significant addition for discerning collectors.
