PROVENANCE

Josef Mueller Collection, Solothurn, between 1920 and 1939 Barbier-Mueller Collection, Geneva, Inv. No. 500-7 Sotheby's Auction, France, 22.03.2013, lot 176

Female character represented standing with hands beside the body. She wears a veil on her head, left on her back, fixed on the top with a crown made of circular formations lined up in relief. The eyes are large and almond-shaped; the nose prominent; the mouth slightly open with thick lips. Two small protrusions on the chest indicate breasts; lower down, a small hole suggests the navel. The sex and fingers of the hands and feet are rendered through short incisions. The piece was covered with a layer of yellowish engobe, and red color was added over the ornament on the head.

For clarifications regarding the bidding procedure, hammer price costs, guarantee, payment, and collection terms for the winning lot, we recommend carefully reading/re-reading the Bidding Regulations.
