Sculptor, Swiss, 1901 - 1966

The sculpture is a bust depicting the upper part of a human figure, focusing on the head and the shoulders. The subject appears to be a woman with an elongated neck, a distinct facial structure with deep eye sockets, prominent cheekbones, and a narrow chin. The hair is styled or sculpted back against the head. The sculpture is crafted from a material that resembles bronze, indicated by its metallic brown and copper hues, with greenish oxidization visible on parts of the surface. The texture is rugged and uneven. The figure is portrayed in an upright posture, holding an authoritative presence.
