Small Bronze of a Nude Boy Sitting On A World Globe..... German Casting, Unsigned, Circa 1900 - 1930

This little guy is on his way from Germany. I found him lurking on eBay Germany and his cuteness was worth the small asking price. The little bronze (15cm high) is unsigned but after doing a little research it appears the concept was very popular in home art in Germany at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. He will go on display with the other small bronzes sitting on my computer desk! Enjoy.
Graduation Day seems to be the reason behind the theme of "Globe Sitting!"
