Cast bronze sculpture of winter scene with a troika carrying a man and a woman, with a standing driver. Road marker included. This bronze sculpture represents a troika, a Russian sleigh on wooden runners drawn by three horses abreast. It is an example of the Realism movement of mid-19th century Russian art primarily based in St. Petersburg, the cultural center of Russia's art development at that time. The portrayal of Russian folk life was a particularly popular subject of small scale statues in Russian Realism. Alexei Petrovitch Gratcheff (c. 1780- 1850) was born in Russia. He made his career as an engraver, and was a member of the Russian school. Gratcheff studied under the engraver, A. A. Ossipoff, who like Gratcheff engraved portraits of famous contemporaries, book illustrations, and copies of paintings."

French-born sculptor and stoneworker Charles Bullett (1820-1873) studied at L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris before moving to New York City in 1848, and then to Cincinnati, Ohio in 1850. He earned widespread acclaim for his sculpture, and served as the principal of the sculpture department during the building of the capitol in Columbus. He eventually settled in Louisville, Kentucky, where he helped establish the Muldoon Monument Company, a marble cutting firm highly regarded for its work throughout Kentucky and the American South. Bullett supervised the production of monuments in the firm’s workshop in Carrara, Italy, until he died in 1873.
