Anti-Semitic Carved Figure
C. 1900 Anti-Semitic carved figure, shaped as a monkey holding two books, one by Darwin (On the Origin of Species) and the other by Moses (referring to the Jewish people). The sculpture is an anti-Semitic take of Hugo Rheinhold work - Affe mit Schadel which was first presented in the 1893 Berlin Art Exhibition. In this version the Jews are presented as the most inferior race, based on Darwin's writings. 30.5X19 cm. Signed.
