Otto Gutfreund (1889 - 1927) JAPANESE WOMAN

The sculptural study of a Japanese woman for the House of Silk in Prague was designed by Otto Gutfreund, a founding figure of Czech modern sculpture, whose work still enjoys unceasing collector interest, and who is one of our most important sculptors of international importance.
