This is a bronze sculpture by the German artist Paul Wunderlich, a prominent figure of Magic Realism. The work is characteristic of his oeuvre, in which the human form is abstracted in a surreal and often erotic manner. The object is crafted from patinated bronze, resulting in a deep, dark brown to black finish. This contrasts with the polished bronze details that accentuate the figurative elements. The sculpture is marked with 'H.C.' (Hors Commerce) and an edition number, indicating that it is an example outside the commercial edition, often reserved for the artist or publisher. The overall condition of the sculpture is very good, with a patina consistent with its age. The combination of the rough, textured finish and the smooth, shiny parts gives the work a tactile and visual depth. It stands on a simple, black metal base that emphasizes the vertical form of the sculpture. This sculpture is a refined and intriguing object that can make a strong statement in a modern or eclectic interior. It is ideal for placement on a sideboard, a console, or in a display cabinet as part of an art collection.
