description

With a focused gaze fixed on his precious instrument, the life-sized trumpet player seems completely immersed in the world of his music, inviting us to join him in his grand performance. His rhythmic posture suggests he is carried by an unheard melody, moving with a sense of flow and grace. Despite his professional and elegant presence, he exudes a casual ease, most evident in the relaxed stance of his step.

Once again, the masterful craftsmanship of the Hagenauer workshop is unmistakably on display. Standing at an impressive height of over 180 centimeters, this life-sized jazz musician has a truly monumental presence. With expressive form, he embodies a deep devotion to the art, an homage to the passion and extraordinary talent of his creator, Franz Hagenauer.
