This remarkable bronze sculpture stands as a testament to creativity and whimsy, capturing a charming scene that beckons the viewer into a world of childhood wonder and play. Crafted with exceptional artistry using the traditional lost wax bronze casting method, this 54-inch tall masterpiece showcases a young boy, standing atop the back of a patient turtle.
With a sense of delight, the boy holds a bucket filled with frogs in one hand, each amphibian with its own distinctive personality and pose. The frogs, each with their own unique expressions, add an element of character and charm to the sculpture, illustrating the curiosity and fascination of youth with the natural world.
What makes this sculpture truly exceptional is its dual purpose as a fountain. Water playfully shoots out of the mouth of one of the frogs that the boy is holding in his hand, creating an enchanting and dynamic element that adds movement and life to the artwork.
The boy's expression is one of joy and astonishment, encapsulating the thrill of discovery and the boundless imagination of childhood. The turtle, with its steady and unwavering presence, contrasts with the animated frogs and the boy's animated gesture, creating a harmonious balance in the composition.
This bronze masterpiece, devoid of a formal name, is a delightful addition to any outdoor space, garden, or even as an artistic centerpiece within a home. It serves as a vivid reminder of the timeless innocence and curiosity of childhood, inviting viewers to reconnect with their own sense of wonder and delight. It's a true celebration of artistry, imagination, and the joy of water's playful dance.
