Sonja Mataré has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
Mataré began his artistic training under the painter Eugen Klinkenberg and enrolled in the Kunstakademie in Berlin in 1907. He continued his fine art education as the master pupil of Arthur Kampf in 1912, and later worked under Lovis Corinth in 1914. It was not until after the First World War that Mataré turned towards graphic art and sculpture. Since then, Mataré has been celebrated for his sculptures of animals. He is also renowned for his individual style, which is one of clarity and objectivity of form, and which stood against the subjective expressionistic tendencies of the day. Mataré developed his own expression of form somewhere between the realms of sculpture and applied arts, although one can see similarities with the work of Jean (Hans) Arp and Constantin Brancusi.
