Description from the seller
A beautiful, original antique bronze sculpture titled "Arbeit Krönt" (Labor Crowns), designed by the respected German sculptor Martin Götze (1865–1931). The sculpture forms a splendid, allegorical tribute to traditional craftsmanship and noble handiwork. A young woman tenderly places a laurel wreath on the shoulder of a young craftsman who rests on an anvil, as a symbol of the deserved reward for diligent labor.
The sculpture is sharply and originally signed on the back of the bronze base with "Martin Goetze" and bears the cast title on the front. The sculpture is mounted on a matching, stepped natural stone/marble plinth. The muscular tension, facial features, and the folds in the clothing testify to exceptional artistic craftsmanship.
Condition, dimensions and provenance:
- Condition: Very good. The sculpture is in excellent historical condition with a beautiful, well-aged brown patina and minimal signs of aging consistent with its age.
- Material: Patinated bronze on a natural stone/marble plinth.
- Height: 18 cm
- Width: 14 cm
- Depth: 8 cm
- Weight: 2300 g
- Provenance: Private Dutch collection.
Shipping method:
The object is packaged in an extremely professional, shock-resistant and careful manner in a sturdy transport box. Shipping takes place via PostNL, fully registered and 100% insured with Track & Trace service.
