Sculpture "Cossack's Farewell to His Child"

The sculpture "Cossack's Farewell to His Child" is a deeply emotional and symbolic work that reflects one of the most touching moments of human life – a farewell before a journey, filled with love, care, and inner strength.

The composition depicts a Cossack on horseback bending towards a child in a tender gesture of farewell. The dynamic movement is combined with the finely conveyed emotionality of the scene, creating a strong contrast between the warrior's courage and the sincerity of parental feelings. The image embodies devotion, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between generations.

The masterful execution in bronze with a patinated surface emphasizes the plasticity of forms and the depth of the composition, while the marble base adds monumentality and completeness to the piece. The detailing of the figures and the expressiveness of the silhouette give the sculpture artistic persuasiveness and a historical character.
