There, between 1890 and 1895, the first version of the bronze sculpture Amazon on horseback was created , which is considered to be his main work. The 85-centimeter-tall sculpture by the little-known sculptor received a lot of applause at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition in 1885, and Kaiser Wilhelm II commissioned the larger-than-life version, which was made in 1898 before theNational Gallery was set up in Berlin; a replica is in the Great Tiergarten in Berlin.
