A German fragmentary polychrome decorated softwood head of a bearded saint, possibly Paul, probably early 19th century, modelled with long hair and beard and a groove to the top of the head possibly for a halo, 37.5cm long
Provenance: Property of the family of Samuel Meyer Ehrenberg (1773-1853), thence by descent.
Lot Footnotes
Note: Samuel Meyer Ehrenberg (1773-1853) was a prominent German-Jewish citizen and founder of the 'Samson'sche Freischule' in Wolfenbüttel (1807), which he transformed from a traditional Talmud school into a progressive institution, the activities of which would occupy an important place in the Jewish Haskalah and educational reform for Judaism in Germany. A portrait of Samuel c.1820, attributed to the artist and goldsmith Johannes Wilhelm Schroeder (1784-1847), is currently held in the Leo Baeck Institute Art Collection in New York, accession no. 77.25b. Other prominent Ehrenberg family members include Hans Ehrenberg (1883-1958), the German Jewish philosopher and theologian and co-founder of the Confessing Church, and Max Born (1882-1970), the eminent physicist and Nobel Prize winner.
