Title: Ochel - A Sledge ride by Johann Sobieski king of Poland 1691
Post by: marko on May 02, 2015, 12:55:32 PM

A charming set I have seen a number of times which I finally took the plunge on.  My first order from Erika Ochel which went perfectly - they are beautiful castings.

(Particularly taken with the fellow carrying the smoke pots to light the way.)


This is from a painting by Josef Brand
