Born in Massachusetts, later lived in Chicago and New York City. Sculptor whose mass-produced plaster "Rogers Groups" of adults and children found places in many American homes and museums. The Smithsonian owns 27, The Greenville Art Museum has at least one.
Great Display Item in the waiting room of a hospital or doctor's office.
Condition: Good to Very Good. Because these were made of plaster there were often slight accidents in the rooms where they were located. This piece has most of the original paint. The foot of the boy has been reworked. You can see that it is bigger and not as detailed as the other one. Given the age (1860's) this is considered in good to very good condition by collectors.
