- Lot Description
FREDERICK WELLINGTON RUCKSTUHL(French/American 1853-1942)
Hackney Stallion - circa 1894
Bronze with dark brown patina
Signed "F.W. Ruckstuhl Fec"
10.5 inches x 10.25 inches (26.6 x 26 cm)Small scale parlor sculpture such as the offered lot by Ruckstuhl is rare since he was primarily a monumental sculptor. It seems likely that Ruckstruhl's inspiration for this sculpture may have come from the Hackney's at Central Park in New York City.
In 1892, Rucksthul opened a studio in New York City. His work Evening won the grand medal for sculpture at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and was then acquired by the MET. After this national exposure, he was commissioned to make an equestrian statue of Major-General John F. Hartranft for the Pennsylvania State University. In 1893, he was appointed to teach modeling and marble carving at the Metropolitan Museum of Art School in New York City.
Ruckstuhl was a founding member of the National Sculpture Society, as well as the editor of the magazine Art World. In 1925, he wrote the book Great Works of Art and What Makes Them Great, a collection of essays he had published previously.
An article in the May 28, 1894 New York Times talks about Tiffany & Co. issuing a series of bronze statuettes of popular breeds of horses, with the first in the series being modeled by F.W. Ruckstuhl sculpting the Hackney. - Shipping Info
