Thomae Annual Plaque 1976 – “The Good Samaritan” – Toni Schneider-Manzell – Buderus Cast Iron – Signed Relief 162×224 mm

Rare Thomae annual plaque 1976 with the motif "The Good Samaritan", designed by Toni Schneider-Manzell (TSM), one of the most important German sculptors and medalists of the 20th century.

The plaque depicts a narrative, figurative scene in Schneider-Manzell's characteristic, clear formal language. It was made using cast iron, very likely by Buderus, the leading German art foundry of the time.

These annual plaques were produced in small editions and are now among the most sought-after collector's items of German post-war art.
