    Josef Lorenzl was an Austrian sculptor renowned for his Art Deco creations during the early 20th century. Born in 1892 in Vienna, Lorenzl displayed exceptional talent and artistic sensibilities from a young age. He specialised in bronze and ivory sculptures, often depicting graceful and elegant female figures in dynamic poses. His works exude a sense of movement, capturing the spirit of the Jazz Age.

Today, his sculptures are considered valuable collector's items and are admired for their exquisite craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
