This statue, along with Bear and Man of the Stone Age, came to the Urbana campus by mistake with the purchase of the contents of Lorado Taft’s studio in 1937. After years of being kept in storage and following prolonged negotiations, they were donated to the University in 1959 by the heir of the original owner. On display since then in Allerton’s woodlands, in the Krannert Art Museum, and in a major four-city national traveling exhibition (“The Romantics to Rodin), they have been back on display at Allerton Park since 2016. Located in The Gardens.
