Great Dane Bronze Sculpture by Gustav Reißmann

This animal bronze sculpture depicts a noble Great Dane, created by the German sculptor Gustav Reißmann. Originally designed in 1907, this work showcases the artist's anatomical expertise at the beginning of the 20th century. The muscular rendering and alert stance of the dog illustrate a subtle transition toward the Modern Art style, emphasizing pure lines and the animal's powerful physical presence.

The piece features a sophisticated black patina that highlights the volumes and the interplay of light across the body. This is a high-quality posthumous cast, numbered 3/8 from a limited edition. Standing 33.5 cm tall, it is an impressive cabinet piece in an excellent state of conservation, preserving the surface integrity and the precision of the morphological details.

The rectangular base bears the incised signature K. Gustav Reissmann and the original dating of 1907. This limited edition represents a rare opportunity for a collector of animalier art or early 20th-century German sculpture. Its timeless aesthetic ensures a seamless fit within both traditional and contemporary interiors.
