Die Klage/A Posthumous Casting
Signed "KOLLWITZ" within the cast along left side, foundry stamped "ROMAN BRONZE WORKS INC N.Y." and incised "No3-61" on the base.
Bronze with dark brown patina, 10 5/8 x 10 3/8 x 4 in. (27.0 x 26.4 x 10.0 cm).

N.B. Jeanne L. Wasserman, Honorary Curator of 19th- and 20th-Century Sculpture at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, from 1969-c.1987, commissioned the American foundry Roman Bronze Works to cast Die Klage in 1961 in a bronze edition of three, after one of two original plaster casts purchased from Hyman Swetzoff of Swetzoff Gallery, Boston, in December 1958.
