About the Item
A striking mid-20th-century bronze sculpture rendered in the admired Werkstätte Hagenauer style, this seated African woman figure captures the modernist spirit and exoticist elegance that made Hagenauer’s Viennese atelier internationally celebrated. Executed in solid bronze, the figure’s elongated proportions, stylized facial features, and subtly abstracted geometry are emblematic of the period when Austrian modernism embraced both refined minimalism and expressive contour.
The sculpture’s warm, naturally matured patina enhances its sculptural depth, tracing decades of careful stewardship. The artist achieves a delicate tension between poise and fluidity: the gentle forward incline of the torso, the graceful gesture of the arms, and the softly modeled drapery convey a refined serenity. Her posture—seated in quiet contemplation—invites the viewer to engage with the work not only as a decorative object but as a moment of sculptural intimacy.
Works in this style, particularly female figures expressing the atelier’s celebrated Africanist motifs, are increasingly sought after by collectors of Austrian Modernism, Art Deco, and 20th-century bronzes. While unmarked, the sculpture displays clear lineage to the renowned Hagenauer vocabulary of form, making it an exceptional decorative and collectible artwork with strong market resonance.
