(Znaim 1871 – 1940 Berlin)
After training in arts and crafts, Lederer worked in Berlin from 1893 onwards. From 1900 onwards, his beautifully sculpted, Art Nouveau-influenced figures were joined by stylized monumental sculptures, which made him one of the most sought-after commissioned sculptors in the German Empire. He greatly admired the dancer Anna Pavlova and created several depictions of her, the most popular of which was the sculpture with the feeding deer.
