Limewood Carving ‘After the Bath’ by Hans Müller

1900 - 1920
Description

Dated 1922. Signed on the plinth, with partially legible inscription in ink to underside of base

R………. Hans Muller

Nach de Bade

……… 12 J.. 1922

Preis …. : 300-

The carved and stained Limewood female nude with tightly knotted hair, leaning on an amphora and draped in a cloth, mounted on a moulded mahogany base.

33cm Wide x 29.5cm high.

Hans Müller (1873 Vienna - 1937 Vienna), pupil of August Kühne at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts and later of Edmund von Hellmer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.

Probably best known for his portraits and sculptural busts of the famous in Viennese society. There is not too much known about Hans Muller or that has been written about this very 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, Hungary. Hans Muller was a graduate of the academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. After World War I he was entrusted with the construction of the memorial pieces honoring those who gave their lives during the war.

The "girl after the bath" in Greek mythology, most commonly refers to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, who is often depicted bathing in a pool in the woods, and whose story includes the myth of Actaeon, a hunter who accidentally saw her naked while she was bathing, leading to his transformation into a stag and subsequent death by his own hunting dogs.

Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Early 20th-century Austrian wood carving frequently combines Art Nouveau fluid contours with anatomical accuracy, utilizing fine-grained European hardwoods to create decorative figurative works.

Limewood possesses a uniform density and fine, soft grain that allows sculptors to cut against the grain without splitting, making it suitable for intricate detail work.

Authenticity is evaluated by inspecting chisel marks, natural patina in recessed areas, age-appropriate timber shrinkage, and sculptor signatures engraved into the wood.

Place the sculpture on a surface such as a sideboard, console, or bookshelf where focused lighting can highlight the carved surface textures against neutral walls.

Remove dust using a soft dry brush, maintain a stable room humidity to prevent splitting, and apply a thin coat of clear natural wax polish sparingly to protect the timber surface.
