Artist, American, 1844 - 1916

The sculpture is a relief artwork featuring several human figures and a dog. On the left side, there is a group of three standing figures. To the right, there is a seated figure playing a musical instrument, possibly a flute, with a dog sitting nearby. The material of the sculpture appears to be bronze, with a dark brown patina highlighting the details and textures of the figures. The relief creates a sense of depth and movement, with the figures emerging from the flat background. The surface is intricately detailed, and the bronze color adds a lifelike quality.
