A bronze reproduction of the so-called “Praying Boy” Cast bronze sculpture with fine chocolate brown patina on a black marble base. Signed "LAUCHHAMMER BILDGUSS 27" on the back of the plinth. H with base 42.3 cm. Lauchhammer foundry, 1920s. The Lauchhammer foundry was opened in 1725 as a decorative cast iron foundry but began casting bronze in around 1838. They cast motifs by famous contemporary artists as well as reproductions of ancient statues, such as this famous figure of a praying boy from Rhodes (4th - 3rd C. B.C.) that has been housed in the antiquities collection of what is now the State Museum in Berlin since 1747. Statue eines jungen Mannes, sog. Betender Knabe Bronzeguss mit feiner schokolandenbrauner Patina, schwarzer Marmor. Auf der Plinthe hinten signiert "LAUCHHAMMER BILDGUSS 27". Mit Sockel H 42,3 cm. Gießerei Lauchhammer, 1920er Jahre. Die 1725 gegründete (Eisenkunstguss-)Gießerei in Lauchhammer begann um 1838 mit dem Kunstguss in Bronze. Abgesehen von Entwürfen zeitgenössischer Künstler wurden auch Repliken antiker Staturen hergestellt, wie die der berühmten Bronzefigur aus Rhodos (4./3. Jh. v. Chr.), die sich seit 1747 in der Antikensammlung der (heutigen) Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin befindet.
