About the Item

A beautifully detailed gilt bronze bust of a young woman by Austrian artist Hans Muller. This work is signed on the back, H Muller. The long flowing hair of the model creates a sense of movement around her delicate face and decollete. There are flowers blooming from her waist. Her hair is fashioned in a headband. With her eyes closed, she turns her head over her shoulder. You know, it's interesting when you come upon a gorgeous artwork such as this sculpture only to research it and find that there is little to no information on the artist. While there are several of his works offered for sale, there is little in the way offered about Mr. Muller. I did manage to find this bio from the Sculpture Collector website, "Hans Muller (Austrian, 1873-1937) Hans Muller was born in Vienna, Austria on January 10, 1873. He was a pupil of Edward Hellmmer at the Vienna Academe of Art. Although he is probably best known for his portraits and sculptural busts of the famous in Viennese society, he did create figurative sculptures as well as animals, mostly of hunting dogs. There is not too much known about Hans Muller or that has been written about this very talented Austrian artist other than the many works he has produced. Many of his sculptural pieces are on permanent display in the Simu Museum in Bucharest, Hungary. Hans Muller was a graduate of the academy of Fine Arts in Vienna where he studied under Edmund von Hellmer. After World War I he was entrusted with the construction of the memorial pieces honoring those who gave their lives during the war." Shall we make a few inferences based on this bio? Perhaps the subject of this petite antique gilt bronze was someone 'famous in Viennese society' and her identity (like much of the artists life) is unknown to us. I suppose that is part of the mystery, the beauty and the intrigue of art. I hope you'll bring a little of this into your home with this gorgeous sculpture.
