Outlet Pamono After Frank Xaver Masserschmidt, Yawning Bust, Silvered Wax Sculpture

This striking sculpture is inspired by the famous “character heads” of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (1736–1783), the celebrated Austrian-German sculptor of the late Baroque.

Realized in wax and mounted on a wooden base, the bust has been finished with genuine silver leaf, giving it a luminous metallic effect reminiscent of the original works produced in the second half of the 18th century. The subject, captured mid-yawn, embodies Messerschmidt’s fascination with the extremes of human expression and remains one of the most iconic images in the history of European sculpture.
