Great attention is given to detail – the intense impression on the worker’s face and the tension is his arms shows how heavy this piece of iron is and the artful way his whole body is shaped. Signed H. Müller on the back edge. 38cm high x 22cm wide x 24cm deep, weight 9kg.
Excellent original condition. A very powerful sculpture.
Hans Müller was born in Vienna (Austria) on January 10th 1873 and was a pupil of Edward von Hellmer at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Although he’s probably best known for his portraits and sculptural busts of famous Viennese society, he created figurative sculptures as well as animals (mostly hunting dogs). There isn’t a lot known about Müller or been written about this talented Austrian artist, other than the many works he has produced. Many of his sculptural pieces are on permanent display in the Simu Museum in Bucharest (Romania).
