AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Authentic edition in terracotta, subtly glazed, of the sculpture 'Iris' designed by Prof. Fritz Klimsch, depicting a seated nude woman. Klimsch was one of the most important German figurative sculptors of the 20th century, known for his serene, classical-modern female figures with flowing lines and soft anatomical transitions.
This image was made in 1950, ten years before the artist's death.

It is in excellent condition and well marked on the underside, dated, and bearing FK., a mirrored monogram.
The seated nude female figure, lightly leaning forward, fully aligns with Klimsch's style: elegant, serene, and timeless. It is a large sculpture, measuring 29x26x26 cm and weighing 2.1 kg.
