Since the 1930s, bird sculptures represent a popular product group of Werkst\u00e4tte Hagenauer. In a highly stylized form, these animals lent themselves perfectly to the design of centerpieces. Herons or toucans with their characteristic features, on the other hand, were depicted in a more naturalistic form. With its lifelike portrayal, our seagull belongs to this second group. Karl Hagenauer captures the seagull in a descent way, with its wings outstretched widely, its right wing seemingly touching the water\u2019s surface. An artfully designed wave hints at the sea, and serves, barely noticeable, supporting the entire sculpture. This bird sculpture is particularly rich in detail, as can be seen beautifully in the drawing of the plumage or the finely shaped webbed feet. The choice of materials is rather unusual, with a base cast of solid, nickel-plated brass and wings, made of matte nickel-steel. The strongly imaginative design and masterful craftsmanship, coupled with rarity value on the market, make this snapshot of a hunting seagull a sought-after collector’s\u00a0item.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
