Mother and Child Bronze Sculpture - Unique Piece

About the Item

This modernist figural composition is a captivating piece that depicts a woman carrying a child on her shoulder. Crafted from bronze, the sculpture features a bicolor patina that adds depth and contrast to the artwork. The artist's signature can be found on the backside, indicating its authenticity and value. This piece dates back to the late 20th century and stands at an impressive height of 48.5 cm. In overall very good condition. Some patina and oxidation to bronze. The sculpture's design is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of human emotion and connection. The woman's posture, deliberately missing the head, and the way she holds the child convey a sense of total dedication - the child becomes the woman's mind, being in her permanent thoughts. The exulting sense of protection and nurturing is making this piece not only visually appealing but also emotionally resonant. The fluid line of the sculpture is a remarkable feature that enhances its overall aesthetic appeal. The artist has skillfully crafted the figures with smooth, flowing lines that create a sense of movement and grace. The woman's body, and the child resting on her shoulder, is depicted with a continuous, unbroken line that guides the viewer's eye from the top of the sculpture to the base. This fluidity not only adds to the visual harmony of the piece but also emphasizes the intimate connection between the mother and child. The bicolor patina further accentuates the fluid lines, as the contrasting shades highlight the curves and contours of the figures. The seamless transition between the different parts of the sculpture, from the woman's body to the child's delicate form, showcases the artist's mastery in creating a cohesive and dynamic composition. The fluid line of the sculpture invites viewers to appreciate the elegance and simplicity of the design, while also evoking a sense of warmth and tenderness. This artwork would make a striking addition to any collection, offering a blend of modernist aesthetics and timeless themes of motherhood and care. Its presence can elevate the ambiance of any space, serving as a focal point that draws viewers in and invites them to reflect on the universal bond between mother and child.

Art Nouveau Bronze Sculpture "Polo Players" by Fred Voelckerling, 1919
Located in Bochum, NRW
A German Expressionist bronze sculpture "Polospielers" (Polo Players). Signed and marked 'Fred Voelckerling, 1919' on the base. In very good condition, normal wear and patina. Dimensions: 45x28x36.5 cm The aesthetic composition is depicting two polo players on horseback, in full competition. The horses' movement has a special elegance and sobriety, and the finish is of remarkable sensitivity, the anatomical elements are distinguished, without the stylization becoming of a trivial naturalism. The polo players are caught in a moment of maximum tension, struggling to keep both the horses in check and the clubs in play. The whole ensemble exudes the emotion of movement and competition, being a perfect example for the expressionist sculpture.
