Vassily Yacovlevitch Gratchev (1831 Berestjanki – 1905 St. Petersburg) Troika on a Speedy Sleigh Ride Bronze, with a dark brown patina, 1877. Signed in Cyrillic; Inscription from the C. F. Woerffel Art Foundry, St. Petersburg.

He became known for small-scale genre scenes featuring horse-drawn teams or Cossack riders, which he had cast by C.F. Woerffel in St. Petersburg. Gratchev’s artistic influences included, among others, Evgeni Alexandrovich Lanceray. Approx. 29.5 cm x 45 cm x 30 cm. Dark brown patinated bronze, 1877. Signed in Cyrillic. 19th-century cast.
