The Archer
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating bronze and ivory figurine, skillfully crafted by the renowned German sculptor Johann Philipp Ferdinand Preiss. Standing at a height of 22 cm, this exquisite piece rests on a green onyx base supported by delicate ivory feet. The photograph captures the close-up view of the figure against a vibrant red background, emphasizing its striking presence. The archer's pose exudes strength and determination as she pulls back her bowstring, ready to release an arrow towards her target. With arms outstretched and hand gestures poised for action, she embodies both grace and power. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this sculpture - from the intricate apparel adorning the archer's body to the carefully inscribed signature "F. Preiss" on the base. The use of metalwork combined with precious stones adds an element of luxury to this artwork. The green gemstone embellishments further enhance its aesthetic appeal while symbolizing balance and concentration required in archery. This photograph offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Preiss' artistic genius, showcasing his ability to create human-like representations that evoke emotion and captivate audiences. It invites us into his studio where he masterfully brings together various materials to breathe life into his creations. "The Archer" stands as a testament to Preiss' talent as well as his contribution to German art during the 20th century. This print serves as a reminder of his legacy, preserving his work for future generations to appreciate and admire within private collections worldwide.
