A little frog king on a big turtle
Anyone who played by a pond as a child knows this pride: at last a frog has been caught! This XXL bronze sculpture by Casa Padrino shows a boy standing barefoot on the shell of a large turtle, holding his catch high in the air with an outstretched arm. His head tilted back, he studies the frog with obvious delight. In his other hand he carries a bucket from which the heads of more frogs peer out curiously, while the turtle calmly stretches its head forward as if patiently carrying its small passenger through the garden. The result is a scene full of humour and adventure.
Two colours, many animals
The figure thrives on the interplay of two tones. Skin, hair, bucket and turtle shell show a warm, reddish bronze brown, while the boy's swim shorts, the frogs and the turtle's head and legs wear a fresh green patina that recalls moss, lily pads and pond water. The plates of the shell, the wrinkled skin of the turtle and the long, dangling hind legs of the frog are lovingly detailed. The slender, upward composition looks lively from every angle and draws the eye from the shell all the way up to the raised hand.
Made for ponds and wildlife gardens
This pond companion looks best right at the water's edge, among reeds and grasses, beside a stream or on the bank of a swimming pond. It also cuts a fine figure in a wildlife garden, a fern bed or along a path leading to the water. For family gardens, nurseries, school gardens, farm holidays or garden cafés, this garden figure is a cheerful eye-catcher that invites children to explore and reminds adults of their own summer days by the water.
