About the Item

Art Deco Man with Serpent Hand-Carved Wood Sculpture Circa 1920s DIMENSIONS Height: 23.5 inches Width: 14.5 inches Depth: 8.75inches ABOUT Perhaps German, this wooden sculpture stands as a remarkable masterpiece, showcasing the sculptor’s extraordinary skill and attention to detail. It vividly portrays the anatomical proportions and muscular system of the male body with an exceptional level of accuracy, bringing life and vitality to the figure. The man is captured in a dynamic and dramatic pose, engaged in a fierce battle with a snake, his body twisting and straining with movement, emphasizing both strength and grace. The composition is circular, creating a harmonious flow that guides the viewer's eye around the piece, enhancing the sense of motion and energy. The aesthetic quality of the sculpture is refined and elegant, with every curve and contour thoughtfully crafted to convey beauty and power. The balance between realism and artistic stylization elevates this sculpture beyond mere representation, making it a striking and powerful expression of human and natural conflict.
