“Pessimist”
Sculptural Bronze Bookend
Erling Andersen
Denmark Late 20th century 

A distinctive, late 20th-century bronze bookend titled “Pessimist,” stamped with the designer’s signature.

This sculptural piece features a partially polished and partially patinated surface, offering rich tonal contrast and a satisfying tactile quality. The figure’s expressive, subtle inward posture embodies the pessimistic side of the classic optimist/pessimist trope.

Both functional and decorative, this characterful book support makes an eye-catching addition to a shelf, desk, or library, appealing to collectors of modern design and sculptural objects.
