19: CARL KAUBA (1865-1922) EARLY 20C BRONZE OF WHITE CLOUD

Carl Kauba (1865-1922)
White Cloud (Circa 1910)
The original period casting depicts the Native American White Cloud of the Iowa Nation. Though there are many later iterations of Carl Kauba sculpture, this casting is from the Vienna period cast in the artist's lifetime. The patina, the quality of the casting, the style and patina of the cut brass fasteners used to join the figure to the base, and the side stamp of Geschutzt all confirm the early 20th century date of this sculpture which is signed along the figure's leg as shown.
Measures 9.5 x 3.75 x 4 inches.
Very good condition throughout, no damage, repair or heavy wear.
Provenance: The Susan Koehn Estate Trust Newton, Kansas
