Max Ulrich "Uli" Schoop Terracotta Bust of Young Woman antique litho animals " The chair in thisMax Ulrich (Uli) Schoop (1903 1990) was a German born sculptor, painter, printmaker, who lived and worked in Paris (1928 1940) then Zurich, Switzerland, where he was a professor of art at the University of Zurich from 1953 1973. This wonderful small bust is signed but undated, but based on other works I believe likely dates to the 1940s. Finely sculpted and beautiful from every view, I find her quite a thoughtful, curious and gentle seeming presence!
