Sitzender mit erhobenen Armen. 1932/33.
Bronze with brown patina.

The original plaster and possibly the bronze or zinc cast were lost during his lifetime. In 1993, Isermeyer mentions only two later casts in private ownership (including his own copy). [KA].
• Very rare. One of only two known bronze re-casts.
• Inspired by ancient imagery, the figure is a beautiful representation of human proportions.
