About the Item

Charles Rumsey was a child prodigy sent to Paris to train in sculpting at age 12. He was not only a prodigy sculptor but an avid horseman and sportsman. His love of horses and animals gave him particular insight in their anatomy and movement and a love of all things horsey. He was an 8 goal polo player with Meadowbrook Polo, he taught his brother in law Averell Harriman to become and accomplished polo player as well. His work went beyond horses and dogs and wildlife to include sculptures of people, and his work had begun transitioning from realism to more post impressionist and even abstract later in his career. Unfortunately, he died at a young age in an automobile accident. He left behind a large body of work that is found in Museums all around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, NYC, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, the Beaux Arts Center Paris.
