| Schmidt-Kestner is a descendant of Charlotte Buff in the fourth generation. Charlotte Buff got a monument trough Goethe in "The sorrows of young Werther"! Kestner was born in 1877 and died in 1941. In 1901 he received for his work the silver medallion of the art, in 1904 even the golden medallion. During the First World War he was a soldier in France, Russia and in the Alpine corps. Still today his former studio in the Offenbacher street in Berlin - Friedenau is an artist's studio. The bronze has a length of approx. 41 cm, a height of approx. 39.5 cm and a width of approx. 22 cm. The weight amounts to 11.5 kg! With the figure it concerns the representation of a big horse. An athletic naked man sits on the horse. On the right of it a naked woman, the left arm lassiv laid on the horse backs, stands. The man bends down and embraces the woman, while he gives her one kiss, the parting kiss. It is an absolutely impressive very expressive work of the artist! Most details are worked out perfectly! | ||
