(1870 Frankfurt a. M. - 1960 Freiburg) "Siesta" ("Contemplation"). Original title Bronze, brown patinated, 1924/1955. Artist monogram "FK", foundry stamp Strassacker Kunstguss Süssen. Catalogue raisonné Brown 121. Full-bodied representation of a crouching, self-absorbed, female nude, whose special charm lies in the balanced, closed, and contemplative composition. The 1955 modeled "Siesta" is a reduced version of the 1924 designed sculpture "Contemplation". The differences lie in the more compact physicality, the slightly less inclined head, and the altered hairstyle with a summarily styled hair. The "Siesta" thus joins the series of several reinterpretations created by Klimsch in the 1950s. H. 24.5 cm. Brown patinated bronze, 1924/1955. Monogrammed "FK". Foundry stamp.
