Marcel <strong>Wolfers</strong><br />
Preliminary study for Possidere<br />
Terracotta (restored)<br />
Dimensions: 22 × 23 × 8,5 cm<br />
With the small studies for the “Légende Solaire” project we found an early<br />
bozetto for “Possidere”, probably dating from around 1909–1910. The small scale<br />
study was made in clay and left to dry. It was probably fired at a later date.<br />
Due to the firing, the sculpture has multiple cracks and has a large part glued to<br />
the main body.<br />
It is amazing how the artist knows to convey the sense of power and<br />
movement in such a small sketch.<br />
