Carl Neuhaus - An Art Deco sculpture "Die Überraschung - The
Surprise", Germany, dated 1921 - the young woman with a frog
at her knees, the bronze patinated and enamelled, mounted on a black
granite base.
This is a delightful and quality bronze, the subject matter could be
seen to be a precursor of the "surprised" ceramic women created by
the Italian firms of by Lenci and Essevi.
