This Czech-German's work is mostly associated with architecture. Metzner was involved in decorating a number of important buildings in Austria, Germany and Bohemia, but perhaps his most well-known work was the decoration of Stoclet Palace in Brussels. The statuette on offer is from the artist's later period, which is typified by smooth S-shapes. Particularly noteworthy is the detailed precision work, which is not as visible on the terracotta model. Terracotta version published in: Franz Metzner: Ein Bildhauer der Jahrhundertwende in Berlin-Wien-Prag-Leipzig. Munich, 1977, p. 98, fig. 55. A larger stone version, titled "Mother" and dated 1912, was published in the magazine: Die Kunst, 1912, p. 515. Carrara marble, unmarked.
