Bronze with black green patina.
Braun 121. With the monogram in ligature on the sole of the left foot, as well as with the foundry mark "H. Noack Berlin". Height: 31.5 cm (12.4 in).
Hermann Braun was able to reconstruct the date "before 1924" on basis of the fact that a nephew of Fritz Klimsch acquired a copy of "Beschaulichkeit" in 1924 (cf. Hermann Braun, Fritz Klimsch. Eine Dokumentation, Cologne 1991, p. 359). [AW].

• Fritz Klimsch was among the most famous modern sculptors of the Weimar Republic
• Lyrical-atmospheric work emanating a meditative calm
• The influence of Aristide Maillol and Wilhelm Lehmbruck shows in his particularly successful female nudes.
