"Recumbent Male Nude, " Gilded Bronze by Agnes Yarnall, 1954

About the Item

Sensous and very modern, this 1954 gilded bronze sculpture was created by Agnes Yarnall, a well-known Philadelphia sculptor active after World War II. Like most of her peers in the 1950s, she gave her figures a roughly-textured surface, but the beauty and power of the human figure remains.

  • "Male Athlete with Kettlebell", Rare Bronze Sculpture with Male Nude by Seifert
    By Franz Seifert
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    This highly rare bronze of a nude male athlete preparing to left a heavy kettlebell weight was sculpted by an Austrian artist, Franz Seifert, in 1922. Although Seifert is known for his nude figures straining to accomplish physical tasks -- such as carrying a large bucket or splitting a stone -- this sculpture is the only example known to exist. A decade after this sculpture was cast, Seifert carved a marble portrait of Siegfried Marcus, inventor of the gasoline-powered car, for a monument in Vienna, which includes a nude male figure in bas relief racing forward on the upper edge of an automobile wheel. He also created a large sculpture grouping honoring Empress Elizabeth...
