While a child latched on a leg might be cumbersome, this naked statue doesn’t seem encumbered by the child nor by any clothes or a longing for decency. Even so, the sculpture is called “The threatened one” (Der Bedrohte) and I’m wondering …
I saw this silver sculpture in front of a building which is part of the Technical Museum in Speyer. Size and form, yet not the stance nor the material, reminded me of a sculpture I’d seen in Munich.
