This small bust of an African girl was created by the Viennese workshop Hagenauer Werkstätten in the 1950s, exemplifying the mid-century modern and minimalist aesthetics of postwar Europe. Measuring 12 cm in height, the sculpture is crafted from painted bronze in a deep, matte black finish that accentuates its clean lines and elongated proportions. The smooth bronze surface allows light to softly highlight the delicate facial features and the stylized, swept-back hair finished with a simple headband. The bust is mounted on a rectangular wooden base, which displays a warm, semi-matte brown tone and visible wood grain. The piece remains in very good vintage condition, showing only minor surface scratches and gentle wear, along with a light patina on the base typical for original pieces of its era.
This compact sculpture embodies the mid-century fascination with pure forms and noble materials. The subtle gesture of the slightly tilted head and the elongated neck evoke a sense of calm and contemplation. Its minimalist character, free from unnecessary ornamentation, reflects a postwar longing for simplicity and authenticity—as if the form itself carries the tranquil rhythm of everyday life in the 1950s.
The bust can be displayed as a refined detail on a living room console, a bookshelf, or as part of a composition with other modernist objects. It can be paired with ceramics in organic shapes, simple mirrors, or small graphic prints from the 1950s and 60s, creating a subtle, curated arrangement. It will fit seamlessly into mid-century modern interiors as well as minimalist spaces, where its subdued presence will be gently highlighted. The listed price refers to one piece.
