Carl Kauba (After): Late 18th early 19th Century Sculptor, "Buffalo" in Bronze on Rock (1865-1922) Though not American, Kauba traveled for extended periods throughout the West in the 1890s which inspired him to create many works based on his experiences. Cowboys, Native Americans, horseback riders but without question, the American Buffalo being his most frequent subject as they proved quite commercially successfully. Offered is a numbered edition of 167 (pressed into base with Kauba's signature). To our mind one of his best buffalo sculptures handsomely presented on a cut slab of rock. For collectors of Western art, this one is immensely appealing. Rock base is 7 x 15". Buffalo is 8 x 12". In mint condition and weighs about 12 pounds. Estimate Value $600 - UP
