This adorable allegorical sculpture on an oval base represents two schoolboys standing shoulder to shoulder.
The boy shyly raises his finger to his mouth while clutching a slate with an attached pencil. The girl carries a book on which is written "Music" and passes the boy an apple symbolizing paradise.
On the back of the base, there is the Goldscheider hallmark with a rectangular medal and reproduction stamp, reserve, stamped model number 3058/74/7. The shape number IX is incised inside the base.
Friedrich Siegfried Goldscheider, born in Bohemia in 1845, headed the famous eponymous factory in Austria-Hungary, which pioneered technical innovations in polychromy that led to several patents: the new green, chrome ebony, and wood brown in 1897, and a process for imitating bronze in 1891.
Goldscheider exhibited throughout Europe, including Leipzig, Barcelona, Paris, Edinburgh, Vienna, Budapest, Trieste, and Dresden, and won numerous awards. A bronze manufacturing subsidiary was established in 1892 in Paris, on Rue Paradis. He died in Nice in 1897.
