Richard Wagner Bronze Bust
Original early 20th century cast bronze bust of German composer Richard Wagner mounted on a variegated rouge, 2 piece, polished marble base. Unsigned, but most likely sculpted by prolific Austrian sculptor Hans Mueller. Mueller sculpted several versions of Wagner, most are small. This one is 16" tall, including the base, and it weighs almost 16 pounds(!) The bust is in excellent condition, retaining all of its original chocolate brown patina. No dings, dents or repairs. Some tiny loss to the corner of the marble base. Scarce to find in this large size.
