Signed Carl Milles and stamp signed Carl Milles Numbered, no 2/6. Dated 1948. Foundry mark Herman Bergman fud. Bronze, dark/green patina, height 67 cm.
This version has been in Millesgården's collection since the casting in 1948 and has been in the music room in Ann's house at Millesgården. Bukowski's auctions, International Autumn Auction 2005, auction no. 538, catalog no. 235. Thereafter in a private Swedish collection.
The Skating Princess The Skating Princess by Carl Milles is a fast-paced, lively skating girl, the arms are stretched and the short skirt turns in a piruette. Milles created this bronze in 1949 after seeing a skating girl in Rockefeller Plaza in New York. He became so fond of her movements that he tried to catch them in bronze. The sculpture does not have much in common with Milles heavy themes such as "Man and Pegasus" or "Hand of God" that came together at the same time. The motif is found at Millesgården.
