Austrian Art Nouveau Terracotta
Superb terracotta sculpture from the Art Nouveau period. Most likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, this sculpture in the Art Nouveau style (jugendstil in German) combines both a decorative function and sculptural artistic work. It is decorated with a putto (naked child) and a garland of flowers typical of Art Nouveau where nature is stylized in curved and ornamental forms. The main structure with openings evokes a tower or a stylized architectural element. On the base there is a hole probably giving space for a switch, this object could therefore have been a night light. The hole filled can also easily be used as a vase; very decorative object and in very good condition.
