Edward Henry Berge, (1876-1924)was a Baltimore sculptor who worked in marble and bronze. He studied under Verlet and Rodin and, while in Paris, won the Clark Prize , given to an American Sculptor. This is a signed example of his work. The young girl is seated with her dog who peers over her lap and looks longingly at the girl. Berge's style was, Realism, and this is, surely, a nicely detailed example of that style. The bronze has nice original patina and measures 5 1/2 inches by 4 inches. Condition is mint.
