Muut tiedot
To the inner courtyard of Ivar Kreuger’s "Tändstickspalatset" on Västra Trädgårdsgatan in Stockholm, Carl Milles created an elegant Diana-fountain in the late 1920s. The goddess of the hunt, Diana, is placed at the top while the animals gaze up at her from below. In the basin of the fountain, besides the wild animals, there is also a faun resting.
The entire sculpture group consists of seven parts: Diana, two pairs of hunting dogs, two does, and two wild boars. The current auction lot depicts one of the wild boars in a smaller format.
