In 1979 an original gypsum model by the sculptor Georg Kolbe, which had been unknown by then, was discovered in the estate of the mason Alfred Dietrich, who made stone sculptures for Kolbe towards the end of the 1910s. The model shows a variation of the theme 'Frauenraub' (Raptio) and was presumably made for the design of a fountain planned for the 'Werkbund' (German Association of Craftsmen) exhibition in Cologne in 1914. The pugnacious female figure that Kolbe created here calls reminiscence of both his 'Amazone', of which several versions were made as of 1912, as well as of the powerful physicality of the famous sculpture 'Tänzerin' (Dancer) from1911/12, today in possession of the Nationalgalerie in Berlin. The person depicted in all works presumably was Charlotte Kaprolat, later wife of the painter Max Pechstein, who sat model for the young Kolbe on several occasions at the beginning of the century.
