Provenance: The sculpture originates from the collection of Professor Johannes Berg and was previously sold at the Museum Bygningen auction during the 1990s. About Gottfred Eickhoff (1902-1982): Gottfred Eickhoff was a celebrated Danish sculptor and a key figure in Danish modernism. Known for his ability to convey human relationships and emotions through stylized and minimalistic forms, Eickhoff primarily worked in terracotta, stone, and bronze.

Widely acclaimed for his focus on emotional expression, Eickhoff remains a significant representative of 20th-century Danish sculpture.
