This impeccable craftsmanship epitomizes Grachev's unyielding dedication to artistry, clearly visible in every detail of this composition.

This unique offering is one of the several poignant renditions of the 'Farewell' series, inspired by E.A. Lancere's original work and the notable events of the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878. Despite its smaller size in comparison to other 'Farewells', this version beautifully encapsulates the essence of the original piece, making it a valuable acquisition at a compelling pricing.

Born in 1831, Grachev's artistic journey started at a very young age when he apprenticed for six years under the court coinage master Andreev in St. Petersburg. His passion for sculpture, largely self-taught, coupled with his exposure to industry stalwarts such as I.S.Sazikov, carved his path as a master of fine plastics. He created exquisite wax models for renowned manufacturers like K.F.Werfel, P.A. Ovchinnikov, I.P. Khlebnikov, and it's under these brand names that most of his remarkable works are recognized today.

Every Grachev's creation tells a story, deeply rooted in history and interpreted through the eyes of everyday people. His genre scenes beautifully represent the pulsating life of Russia, from historical episodes to military themes. These globally admired works have been rewarded multiple times at prestigious art and industrial exhibitions worldwide.
