The smooth contours of this small kangaroo sculpture reflect the refined aesthetic that defined the Werkstätte Hagenauer Wien during the early twentieth century. Executed in polished nickel-plated brass, the figure demonstrates a balance between stylization and natural form, with elongated lines and a geometric clarity characteristic of Art Déco and Jugendstil sensibilities. The animal’s posture, with its upright stance and simplified anatomical details, embodies the workshop’s pursuit of elegance through reduction, where essential volumes replace ornate embellishment. Subtle surface variations accentuate the play of light across the metal, reinforcing the harmony between material and form. On the rectangular base, the maker’s marks attest to the Viennese origin and the authorship of Karl Hagenauer, who, alongside his brother Franz, established the Hagenauer name as a synonym for modernist metalwork that merged artistic vision with exceptional craftsmanship.
