Inventory Carl Kauba (Austrian, 1865-1922), a remarkable artist who pursued his passion for art despite being born the son of a shoemaker. Today, collectors hold him in the same esteemed regard as Remington and Russell, recognizing his exceptional skill in portraying the American West. Kauba\'s preferred subjects included American Indians, cavalrymen, cowboys, and roughriders. His artistic prowess has garnered widespread acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic.Kauba\'s infatuation with the American West was fueled by German tales of Western adventures. While some speculate that he may have journeyed to the American West at the age of 25, returning to Austria with copious notes, sketches, and several Western sculpture models, most scholars believe that Kauba never actually visited the United States. Instead, he relied on firsthand accounts from others and tangible artifacts to create his bronze sculptures. Nonetheless, Kauba expressed a profound affection for the American Indians of the West, showcasing his attention to detail in the intricate reins of his horses, Indian headdresses, weapons, and costumes. Undoubtedly, his work exhibits a remarkable level of artistic achievement.This exquisite bronze sculpture, meticulously crafted using the lost wax method, captures the essence of Kauba\'s artistry. It is expertly mounted on an oval black marble base, adding a touch of elegance to the overall presentation.
