A pencil drawing of a bronze Eagle statue (German: Adler) made by German sculptor Wilhelm Krieger (1877-1945) in 1937.
In 1927 Wilhelm Krieger was awarded the honorary title of professor by the Bavarian Ministry of Culture. Wilhelm Krieger’s first solo exhibition took place in 1934 at the Städtische Galerie in Nuremberg to the acclaim of contemporaries. From 1937 to 1944 Krieger participated in the annual Great German Art Exhibition in the Haus der Kunst, which was organized in Munich.
Krieger’s oeuvre encompasses about 200 animal sculptures. His sculptures were cast in bronze. He also carved in limestone or marble. His work was very popular and also edited in porcelain and stoneware by notable companies such as Hutschenreuther, Rosenthal and several other important porcelain manufactures.
