The attenuated figure of Eve while reminiscent
of Giacometti’s bronze figures more strongly
recalls a Gothic Mary Magdalene and, perhaps is
a reference to late medieval German sculpture
widely found on churches in southern Ger-
man towns. Having studied in Munich, Frömel
could not have avoided being exposed to such
influences.
