Description
Full round figure. Fragment of a sitting, completely naked, bearded man. The abdomen with the horizontally raised left thigh, the strongly angled knee and the weaker flexed right leg is aligned frontally to the observer. In contrast, the upper body, due to the backward-pulling movement of the raised right shoulder and the abruptly pulled forward shoulder, is in a right turn. The head is thrown to the left side, the gaze is directed downwards, under morose brows. The muscles of the powerful, subdued body are generously modeled.
Provenance
Before 1942 in the town hall Passau; 1942 Josef Johann Ludwig, Antiques, Paintings, Regensburg to GNM
