Swiss sculptor Oscar Waldmann was educated in Nürnberg and in Genève and later taught sculpture in Paris. He designed a bridge pier which was one of the few pieces praised by Anthony Ludovici in a review of a show of Arts and Crafts at the Grosvenor Gallery in January 1913. Waldmann produced several bronze, marble and stone figures from wild animals, extremely popular due to their realistic portrayal. His sculptures are highly prized among animal collectors. From 1903-05 he worked for the Sèvres porcelain manufactory. The well-known Canadian sculptress Katherine Wallis (1861–1957) was heavily influenced by him during her stay in Paris.
