Late 19th Century Bronze Sculpture of a Woman in Deep Thought

Signed Kossowski

Entitled: La Pensée

Henryk Kossowski Jr.(1855 – 1921)

Henryk was a Polish born sculptor who moved to, and lived most of his life in Paris. He preferred the Avent Garde feeling that his contemporaries created during this period (1880-1920) Camille Claudel, August Rodin, and Alfred Boucher would have encountered Kossowskis work. Paris was a very exciting scene in these years, and Kossowski was quite prolific. His pieces are collected all over the world today, and his sculpture will be collected for quite some time. His works usually depict Greek or Roman mythology, or genre scenes of everyday life. Often they have art deco elements infused to the feel of the period.
