Otto Gutfreund (1889–1927) was a Czechoslovakian sculptor. After studying art in Prague and Paris, he became known in the 1910s for his cubist statues. After his service in the First World War he worked in a more realistic style. His later work includes many small polychrome ceramic figures as well as architectural decorations. This glazed clay statue depicts a man at the spinning mule, a machine used for spinning cotton.
