About the Item

This German nude strongman archer is one of the finest examples of a nude male figure that I have seen in my 50 years of selling antique bronzes. His musculature is perfect and remarkable, and it displays beautifully from all sides. Artist signed "E. Dittler", ''Emil Dittler" (1868-1902) and also bears a foundry signature and is dated 1903. This was the last bronze he sculpted in his short lifetime. The patina is a rich black, and it glows. This bronze was cared for over the years. A truly special example of a muscular human body.
