A BRONZE GROUP OF A COWBOY AND A COW

In 1911, Paul Troubetzkoy travelled to the United States for his first American show in New York. In 1914, he returned to the city for a show at Knoedler & Co., and, as World War I broke out, he was forced to remain in the United States. Travelling through vast swathes of American countryside on journeys from coast to coast, Troubetzkoy was inspired by the American culture and landscape, and was prolific as a result. His work was met with great appreciation; he exhibited in Philadelphia and Detroit and occupied a well-visited studio in Hollywood from 1919.
