Boy with Goose, Bronze sculpture in Marshall Park, Milwaukee, US
The Boy with Goose sculpture depicts a small naked child holding a pet goose in his lap, with water flowing from the bird's beak.
Local resident Andrew A. McCabe commissioned the bronze work in 1925, which Italian artist Girolamo Piccoli completed in 1927 for public display.
The sculpture stands as an example of early 20th century public artworks that incorporated natural elements and childhood themes into urban landscapes.
The bronze statue measures 43 inches in height, 20 inches in width, and 13 inches in depth, mounted on a tiered base within a planter.
Dominic Joseph Balestrieri, who modeled for the boy figure and later became a Milwaukee firefighter, passed away in 1961.
