(early 20th century)

Figure Skaters Ludowika (1884-1968) and Walter (1882-1957) Jakobsson, patinated bronze on rock crystal base, 8-3/4 in.

Note:

Ludowika (nee Eilers, 1884-1968) Jakobsson  was a German-Finnish figure skater who competed in pair skating with her skating partner and husband Walter Jakobsson (1882-1957) from Finland. The synchronization shown in their move here demonstrates the awareness of body and line necessary for pair work on ice. Together they went on to win several World and Olympic medals.
