Lot 225
Hitler bust of Hitler executed in bronze^ approx 37cm high. Indistinct name of artist to base of verso^ but the name ‘Ferdinand’ can be discerned. This could be ‘Ferdinand Liebermann’ (1883-1941) who was Hitler’s favourite sculptor. It is known that the Liebermann bust of Hitler was exhibited at the 1937 Haus der Deutschen Kunst art exhibition after which 32 casts of the original were made at the orders of the Nazi Party. The present example certainly conforms to the look of the known examples of the Liebermann bust^ but it is not certain whether this is a later recast. The bust has been laid to a square marble plinth. There are a few marks but overall the bust is in fine condition.

The piece is very well carved and most of the iconography appears parallel with coconut carvings of the late 18th/early 19th century. The buildings bear a resemblance to those on some bidri wares, such as those on a 17th century huqqa base illustrated in Bronze, Silver & Gold from Mughal India, Mark Zebrowski, 1997, pls. 519 and 510 CONDITION REPORT: Tiny crack to top left hand corner. Small carving mark to opposing corner. Very faint crack to lower left of the upper section. Possibly, although we believe contemporary, a small splice repair to the interior section.

A Tokyo bronze Group of Paul and Virginie, c.1890, the boy seated on a rock kissing his girlfriend, dark patina, cast Genrusai Seiya zo, 41.5cm This bronze is after a European original, possibly Staffordshire Parian ware, an example of which is illustrated in The Parian Phenomenon, Paul Atterbury, 1989, no. 878, but the sculptor has given the lovers Oriental eyes. The novel, Paul et Virginie, was published in 1787 by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. CONDITION REPORT: No obvious faults.
