About the Item

This whimsical little bronze shows 2 young children on a sled riding down a hill of snow and with one youngster waving to us. The bronze is finished in gilt and the sled is mounted on carved marble. That is marble, not alabaster, and if you ever tried to dig your thumb nail into marble vs. alabaster you will see how much harder that stone is comparatively. The bronze is signed by the noted German artist Paul Ludwig Kowalczewski (1865-1910). We have sold many of his fine bronzes. A lot of time and effort went into making this little piece, and the quality is there for the eye to see. A fun piece of art guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
