Superb pair of allegorical children representing fishing and hunting. Kowalczewski works are considered by sculpture specialists , knowledgeable collectors, dealers and scholars to be as fine and extremely well detailed as the best sculpture produced during the 19th and early 20th century. P. Kowalczewskis works are rare and sought after by collectors, museums and dealers worldwide. P. Kowalczewski is listed as being born in 1876 in Germany. Every sculpture I have seen by this sculptor has been as good or better than the very best quality sculpture I have seen over the past 40 plus years as a collector, dealer and appraiser of antiques specializing in antique bronze sculpture. This rare pair of sculptures created by Kowalczewski represent hunting and fishing. The children appear alive. One with his fishnet the other his bow gun. At the base of the sculptures are a dolphin and a hunting dog. The children have a slight golden chocolate brown patina while the bottom part of the sculptures the dog and dolphin have a brighter golden brown patina. The composition and quality of this rare pair of sculptures is unsurpassable. They measure 12-1/2 and 13 inches tall, the bases are 4-1/4 wide by 3-3/4 inches deep. If only the very finest will do, rest assured you will be more than satisfied with the quality and addition to your collection of this wonderful and extraordinary pair of circa 19th century sculptures .
