CHF 2900.00
This graceful standing female figure exemplifies Hans Brandenberger's mature sculptural practice in the immediate post-war years. The composition is economical yet assured: the figure stands with arms at hips, shoulders squared, hair arranged in a classical chignon. The proportions are refined, the modeling confident. The work demonstrates the artist's deep grounding in classical figuration, even as European sculpture was beginning to turn toward abstraction.
The original plaster is of particular significance. Unlike bronze casts (which necessarily distance the viewer from the artist's hand), this is the working model itself—the form as Brandenberger conceived and executed it. For scholars and collectors, plaster originals offer direct access to artistic intention and process.
