專家說明

Charles Schreyvogel employed sculpture as a tool for modeling subjects for his paintings and ultimately modeled only two bronzes in his lifetime. For his 1899 oil The Last Drop (Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma, Washington), the artist created a clay model to study the forms of the kneeling figure and horse and eventually began casting the model in 1903 in bronze. Retaining the same name as the painting for which it was initially created, the bronze The Last Drop resonated with audiences and became a highly popular statuette with more than 150 authorized casts, the present being number 103.
