Ferdinand Preiss, Art Deco Sculptor, the fire and the flame, Woodbridge 2005, p.105 where the smaller version of this model is illustratedNote: At the beginning of the 20th Century the German Ferdinand Preiss established a company with Arthur Kassler known as Preiss-Kassler and until his death in 1943 he continued to design sculptures. Regarded as one of the most important Art Deco sculptors, he is acclaimed for his popular mixed media (chryselephantine) figures which were affordable to the middle class and appropriately sized for the home. His works were usually based on classical and mythical subjects, such as The Archer, circa 1925, which appears to represent Diana the huntress from Roman mythology. Amongst his other favoured subjects were idealised children, women at leisure sunbathing or holding parasols, or figures involved in sporting endeavours such as ice-skating, playing tennis, football or golf, or even javelin throwing. Preiss' Archer was executed in two sizes, the present lot representing one of only a few known examples of the rare larger variant.Note: Please be aware that this lot contains material that may be subject to import/export restrictions, especially outside the EU, due to CITES regulations.

• FERDINAND MAX BREDT (GERMAN
  FERDINAND MAX BREDT (GERMAN 1860-1921) A PAINTING, "SEA...FERDINAND MAX BREDT (German 1860-1921) A PAINTING, "Seated Nude, Reading," 1913, oil on wood panel, signed and dated L/R, "F.M. Bredt;" 16" x 12 1/2", framed 22" x 19". Note: Everlasting fondness of the female figure churns the perpetuity of art. The German artist Ferdinand Max Bredt upheld that torch with pride during the late Victorian era. A consummate voyeur of both the feminine and the orient, his oeuvre belies an ability to capture explicit beauty while interweaving continental fantasy of the orient. A well traveled artist, Bredt's penchant for harem, bathing and erotic scenes belie popular Victorian taste at the turn of the century. Bredt paints in the present painting a pleasant woman, her exotic nakedness fills the eye with gleaming pools of waxen skin. She reads a fashion magazine; a juxtaposition to her nudity. In a nod to his Germanic heritage, her strawberry color hair is braided neatly revealing her nape of her neck. Ocher and green pigments dominate the painting. A classic work by the artist, Bredt's painting could be used as a visual definition of the aesthetic of late Victorian era eroticsm. Provenance: Lot 1215, August 21, 2014, Discovery, Skinner Condition: A small area of inpainting, some surface wear and accretion.
