Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

This patinated terracotta bust is a remarkable work by Fritz Kochendörfer, a German sculptor active at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It depicts a young nude woman, gracefully emerging from a bouquet of reeds and stylized flowers, in a typically Art Nouveau style.

The lines are sinuous, sensual, and full of softness. The flowing hair is finely sculpted and accentuates the natural movement of the body. The overall effect is both realistic in its facial treatment and symbolist in its floral integration.

The back of the bust is also carefully crafted, revealing long hair intertwined with foliage, giving the work a 360-degree beauty. The base is hollow, as is often the case with terracotta busts of this period, to lighten the overall weight.
