Eugen Drippe (Pagels bust)

Eugen Drippe (born January 21, 1873 in Berlin ; † May 18, 1906 , ibid) was a German sculptor.

He studied from 1893 as a pupil of Ernst Herters at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin . His last work was the life-size group of lovers, whose plaster cast was preserved in the college. Further works are a smaller repetition of this group (with clothed figures), a small group of bacchants and a relief depicting two naked dancing girls, which was executed in marble by a fellow student after his early death.

His fellow student Hermann Joachim Pagels created a 41 cm high portrait bust of Drippes in sandstone , which the Berlin National Gallery bought in 1907 ; The Provincial Museum in Hanover acquired a second version .
