Pocket Art Messerschmidt Beaked Man Character Portrait Statue Miniature 4.1H

Messerschmidt left behind 55 character heads; 17 in alabaster, 36 in metal (usually a tin-copper alloy), one in wood and one in limestone. Her never named them himself and just referred to them as 'heads'. The name they are known by now and the indication of the moods and characters they portray originated in an anonymous publication that appeared some ten years after his death.  The statue head illustrates a Beaked Man. He scrunches up his face and juts his lips and chin out in an exaggerated expression. The pose gives him the look of having a bird's beak. The tight tight facial expression demonstrates Messerschmidt's profound talent at capturing a human gesture. This statue reproduction is part of the Parastone Mouseion 3D Collection of highly collectible museum reproductions. Material: resin with brown yellow finish. Miniature pocket art measures: 4.1 in H x 3 in W x 2.75 in D. Weight 10 ounces. Gift Box Included. (PN PA26ME) Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (1736-1783)Messerschmidt, w
