Young Male Pulling a Stump, Sculpture By Alexandre Ouline , 1927-1933

Cold painted metal sculpture on a stunning base of red marble and creamy onyx. The base has another rather obscure signature, "Charon" in very small letters, Charon was the boatman on the river Styx in Greek mythology, here he was the quarry man for the plinth, or base.
The sculpture measures approx. 27.5 inches long, 22 inches high and / 7.5 inches deep, weighs in at 48.5 lbs. He stands on my hearth in the den.
