One of 3 known casts. Probably lifetime cast.In addition to our piece, two other bronze casts of this fine Expressionist head exist in Dortmund's Museum am Ostwall and in Bremen's Museen Böttcherstraße. There is also a version in plaster. The over-life-sized version in marble was destroyed in 1944. Hoetger is said to have made the head on the occasion of the opening of the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Bremen's Böttcherstraße. On the recommendation of Ludwig Roselius, Bernhard Hoetger was in charge of the old building's conversion.
