Information about author
Object description
The peculiarity of this little-known author's work, whose surname is only known from the signature on the sculpture, is the attempt to reproduce the momentary state in an academic or even studio form. The skilful mastery of the woodworking techniques, the thoroughness of the modelling of the volumes, and the unnaturalness of a frozen child's smile attract the viewers' attention.
