About the Item

One of the most powerful depictions of the male nude we have ever offered, "L'Effort" was sculpted by Joseph Witterwulghe, a Belgian sculptor, in the late 1920s. The sculptor studied at the Academy of Arts in Brussels and taught for years at the Institute of Arts and Crafts. He was primarily known for his bas reliefs and medal designs, and sculpted a major monument in Liège. A bronze medallion with the same "L'Effort" motif was also sculpted by Witterwulghe, and is more commonly found, but this large bronze is extremely rare.

"Sleeping Male Figure", Allegorical Bronze Bookend with Nude, Owl, Mask Child

Located in Philadelphia, PA

Truly fine and extraordinary, this large and heavy bronze bookend, beautifully sculpted, cast and chased, depicts a sleeping male nude figure, his arm resting on a Classical mask, his body curled around an owl, and his left arm clasped by a small child. Given that the owl represents knowledge and wisdom, and the mask indicates art and theater, the sculpture is suffused with allegory and meaning. The sculpture is not signed, but is stamped 530/101 and shows an engraved inventory number, probably added by the first owner. The bronze has a lustrous patrina, and sits on an oxblood marble...
