Rheinhold “Monkey with Skull” Miniature

(1918)

The small bronze statue Monkey with Skull attracted a lot of attention at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition in 1893. It was the first statue of Rheinhold as a professional artist, and an immediate commercial success. The Berlin bronze foundry H. Gladenbech & Sohn commercialized the adorable monkey in various variations under license. A copy even adorned Nikolai Lenin’s desk in the Kremlin from 1922 onwards.
