Carl Kauba (1865-1922) was born in Vienna, Austria and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and at the Art Academies in Paris. He became fascinated with the American West though he probably never visited the U.S. He, however, crafted a stunning group of bronzes with polychrome finishes and intricate, realistic detail.
