Carl Kauba was an Austrian who specialized in sculpture of Western American subjects. Kauba was a pupil of Carl Waschmann and Stefan Schwartz in Austria. He traveled widely in the American West around the mid 1890′s. After his return to Vienna his Western bronzes were cast for the American market between 1895 and 1912. Small and medium bronzes were sometimes cold painted.
