Otto PoertzeLänge: Scheibe-Alsbach 1876 - 1963 Coburg. Studium an der Akademie in München, seit 1913 Professor. Bedeutender deutscher Bildhauer, Zu seinen Themen zählen Figurinen, Tiere, Tänzerinnen. Zahlreiche internationale Ausstellungen. Vorliegend in Holz und Elfenbein gearbeitete Madonna mit Kind, um 1910/20. Auf einem mittig eingezogenen Sockel und angedeuteter Erdkugel stehende, bekrönte Muttergottes, in ihrem rechten Arm das bekleidete Jesuskind haltend. Dieses hat die rechte Hand im Segensgestus erhoben und hält in der linken Hand eine von einem Kreuz bekrönte Weltkugel. Mutter und Kind blicken den Betrachter frontal an. Das Inkarnat der Figuren, Gesichter und Hände, sind aus Elfenbein gearbeitet und in ihrer Wirkung durch den starken farblichen Kontrast des hellen Elfenbeins zu dem vom Bildhauer verwendeten dunklen Holz hervorgehoben, ebenso wie die auch in Elfenbein gearbeitete bekrönte Weltkugel. Am Sockel rückseitige Signatur „Prof. O. Poertzel“. Höhe der Figur: ca. 36 cm. Im Unterschied zu den meisten Bronze - Skulpturen Otto Poertzels handelt es sich hier um ein individuell gearbeitetes Unikat, vermutlich eine Auftrags - Arbeit für einen wohlhabenden Sammler.
