About the Item

This unusual and mysterious bronze was done by the Hungarian artist Karoly Herpka (1861-1938). Signed underneath in 2 places. The subject seems to be unhappy about some event. Not your typical fare. Beautiful attention to the anatomy. Herpka was mainly known for his medals and medallions. He is mentioned all over the internet. A piece of sculpture for the discerning buyer.
