An antique bronze sculpture by Carl Kauba, Austrian, 1865 to 1922. The sculpture depicts a lying cowboy man firing a rifle. Signed with engraving, C. Kauba, on the sculpture. Mounted on a marble base. Carl Kauba is known for Sculpture western figure, Native American. Kaubas intricate bronzes, imported to the United States between 1895 and 1912, were cast at the Roman Bronze Works. Kauba was part of the nineteenth century tradition of polychrome bronze sculpture. There were several types of patinas on a single statue: he could render the color of buckskin, variously tinted shirts, blankets, feathers, as well as beaded moccasins. Reportedly, Kauba came to America around 1886. Inspired by the Western tales of German author Karl May, he traveled to the West and made sketches and models.
