Bidspirit auction | DANCING BOYS, BLACK FOREST HAND

DANCING BOYS, BLACK FOREST HAND CARVED WOOD SCULPTURE, SIGNED - Dancing Boys, a hand-carved, lightweight wooden sculpture with a monogram signature, ca. 1920s. Black Forrest wood, probably cedar or dark pine. The artwork style is similar to other local folk pieces, absorbing the new Art Deco design tendencies. The base is left with the complex, almost wavy marks of carving tools, similar to the hair of the children. The body of the kids is created with an unusually long torso proportion that somehow refers to the High Gothic sculpture in the Central Slavic European countries. Graceful composition with a great sense of joy. The signature seems to read Ebiotz or similar. Please make all inquiries before bidding. All lots are sold ”as-is”, refer to our T&C.
