Expressive, masterful bust of a child or infant from the Art Nouveau period / early 20th century. At the neck area hand-signed with “Löhr.” Attributable to the German sculptor Franz Löhr (1874–1918) (Cologne/Düsseldorf School, influenced by his stay in Paris with Auguste Rodin). The lively, restless surface treatment gives the sculpture a strong impressionist character. The two-tier marble base is sturdy and completes the piece perfectly.

Dem deutschen Bildhauer Franz Löhr (1874–1918) zuzuordnen (Kölner/Düsseldorfer Schule, beeinflusst durch seinen Aufenthalt in Paris bei Auguste Rodin). Die lebendige, unruhige Oberflächengestaltung verleiht der Skulptur einen starken impressionistischen Charakter. Der zweistufige Marmorsockel ist stabil und rundet das Objekt perfekt ab.
