The Young Lovers

Georg Ehrlich

Description

Bronze sculpture of a young couple, seated side-by-side. The girl has both her arms wrapped around the man's waist and he has his left arm across the girl's stomach with his hand under her left arm pit. His right hand is at the girl's back with his hand caressing the girl's neck. Their cheeks are resting against each other in a gesture of love that is seen on a daily basis.
