Description
(1918)
The small, bronze sculpture 'Monkey with skull' attracted a great deal of attention at the Berlin Art Exhibition in 1893. It was Rheinhold's first sculpture as a professional sculptor and was an immediate commercial success. The Berlin bronze foundry H. Gladenbeck & Sohn marketed various versions of the adorable monkey. A copy even graced the Nikolai Lenin's desk at the Kremlin from 1922 onwards.
