Merry Christmas Brian !!!

As always you open our minds and eyes to very beautiful peaces of art.
I can guess it's a Newfoundland sculpture. This is so beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your discoveries with us.

Svilen: Merry Xmas to you too -- and Alexandra!

Actually, this isn't a Newfoundland sculpture. Like the Statue of Liberty, it's a gift from Europe -- and was made by a 19th C. Italian sculptor. You can read more by clicking on the link below the picture.

All the best for the New Year!

Well, I read it and I'm impressed, though.
I don't think that nowadays it's "normal" to find beautiful art elsewhere than museums or "private" never seen by anybody collections.
Still, thank you for the link and the discovery.
