Material: Most examples of this style are made from patinated spelter (a white metal finished to resemble bronze) or cast bronze. Renaissance Influence: Many of these pieces were created in the Renaissance Revival style, featuring romanticized versions of historical soldiers, guardsmen, or "cavaliers". Artists: While many are unsigned, some similar figures from this era are attributed to artists like Hans Müller (Austrian, 1873–1937), known for his historical and military sculptures.
