Comments: Kammer and Reinhardt,circa 1910. An identical sculpture, Knabenbuste, was modeled by the illustrious German artist Arthur Lewin-Funcke (1866-1937) in 1898 (see the last black and white photo of the original sculpture) and then, in 1910, was transformed by Lewin-Funcke into this rare model for Kammer and Reinhardt's art character reform series.
The intriguing story of Lewin-Funcke's connection with the K*R doll firm is told in Cieslik's important work,German Doll Studies,page 231.
Extraordinarily rare model in superb size,with artistic provenance,and outstanding quality of sculpting,bisque and painting.
