There’s something hauntingly compelling about this French male mannequin, circa 1920s—its stark black finish and classical stance are equal parts elegant and clinical. Designed as an advertising display for orthopedic knitted undergarments and medical containment belts, it manages to straddle the worlds of sculpture, medicine, and commerce all at once. The figure stands 33.75 inches tall on a round wooden base, its posture calm and timeless, yet accented by a strapping leather belt system. The mannequin itself is made from buffed black papier-mâché, a lightweight yet durable material often used in early 20th-century displays, giving it an almost sculptural gravitas. You can almost picture it in the window of a Parisian orthopedic supplier in the 1920s, quietly modeling the latest in therapeutic innovation.
