Iko & J. Schmutzer (design), Madonna with Christ child, 1924-1925, teak, dimensions unknown. Photo: Schmutzer family.

Preliminary proof commissioned and designed by Dr. J. Schmutzer. Its current location is unknown, but it could be one of the specimens from the Schmutzer family’s private collection, perhaps the one in image 25. On the above picture we see Iko working on such a statue but it is not clear whether this indeed concerns this specific proof. Source: Schmutzer, Ten Berge, Maas, Europeanisme of katholicisme, 71.
