"Head of Young Man, " Striking, Unique Bronze Sculpture by Bischoff, 1947

About the Item

Sculpted by August Bischoff and cast by the famous Brandis foundry in Dusseldorf, Germany, which also cast bronzes by important artists such as Arno Breker, this unique bronze sculpture depicts a handsome young man with strong, well-defined features. Unlike sculptures earlier in the 20th century, which depicted the human figure with absolutely smoothness and polish, here the face has a lovely texture to it, giving evidence of the sculptor's hands and tools.
