The boy wears a distinctive wide-brim farmer or pilgrim-style hat and gazes upward at an angle, giving the piece a sense of wonder and uplift that feels both nostalgic and symbolic.

The bronze shows a rich, even patina, enhancing the contours of the figure and the subtle texturing of the globe beneath him. At 6 inches tall, 4 inches deep, and 3.25 inches wide, it is a small but highly expressive work—compact enough for a desk, vignette, or bookshelf display, yet substantial in its casting and visual weight.

Likely dating from the early 1900s, the piece reflects the era’s fondness for allegorical childhood imagery and finely cast bronze miniatures. A delightful decorative object and a collectible small-scale sculpture with enduring charm and presence. See less
