Knaben mit Ziegen

Boys with Goats

August Kraus
1931 (one is of 1985)

Description

Two identical sculptures of a nude boy leading a goat. Both sculptures do look different due to the opposing parallel arrangement.
One of the two was removed around 1943 and probably melted down. In 1955 the preserved one was re-established. In connection with the reconstruction of the historic ornamental flower bed on the square a cast was taken from the preserved sculpture in 1985 and an identical piece then made.
