I believe I may know something about this artist. To be certain, can
you tell me what type of sculpture you might have or be referring to?

What material it appears to be made of - bronze, stone, etc 
What the sculture depicts - animal, person, etc
What they appear to be doing - (dewscribe it) lying down, nude,
sitting, male or female, etc

Regards;

Dear dallas5-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting question.

I?m quite confident that the sculptor you are referring to is
FERDINAND LUGERTH (Austrian 1885-1915). He is known for his gilt,
bronze, metal and ivory sculptures and his primary pieces included
portraitures, nudes and animals. He did indeed sign his works, ?F.
Lugerth?.

If your piece is an original and not a replica, you may have something
quite worthy. Take a look at this one for example of a pair of
sculptures are being offered for $6,500:

Here are other examples of some of his greater and lesser-known works:
