This fantastic and rare bronze came from an old Boston, Ma USA estate where it sat next to a Tiffany Linenfold Lamp on top of a Berkey & Gay Old Ironsides Table (1 of 100 made) with a late 19th century Caucasian Carpet on the floor, all of which we purchased directly from the second owner here in Portland, Or USA. The only time this bronze came for sale at Neal Auction Company’s Louisiana Purchase Auction in November 2018 it soared past the $600 high auction estimate to reach $2,900 after 32 bids as pictured. This bronze is in excellent original condition with minor age appropriate wear and no visible signs of damage. The patina is in outstanding condition with the finest quality finish to be found on any European bronze produced in the first quarter of the 20th century.

Hans Muller was born in Vienna, Austria on January 10, 1873. He was a pupil of Edward Hellmmer at the Vienna Academe of Art. Although he is probably best known for his portraits and sculptural busts of the famous in Viennese society, he did create figurative sculptures as well as animals, mostly of hunting dogs. There is not too much known about Hans Muller or that has been written about this very talented Austrian artist other than the many works he has produced. Many of his sculptural pieces are on permanent display in the Simu Museum in Bucharest, Hungary. Hans Muller was a graduate of the academy of Fine Arts in Vienna where he studied under Edmund von Hellmer. After World War I he was entrusted with the construction of the memorial pieces honoring those who gave their lives during the war.
