Колекційна механічна скульптура «Метаморфоза» Карла Кауби

An excellent example of Viennese small bronze plastics of the early twentieth century. The sculpture “Metamorphosis” is one of the most famous mechanical genre sculptures created by the masters of “Viennese bronze” in the Art Nouveau period (first decades of the twentieth century). The model belongs to the sculptor Karl Kaubа. A butterfly with folded wings sits on a pedestal covered with flowers. When the latch is thrown back, the nude butterfly girl rises and opens her wings, which are made of perforated brass. The statuette is painted using cold enamel techniques and was made at the Franz Bergmann factory. A wonderful collector's item.
