Two bronze figures by the German sculptor Paul Aichele (1859-1920). In this set of two bronze sculptures the woman representing 'Industry' - stands on the winged wheel of industry, as the second woman - 'Wisdom', also often called 'La Victoire' or 'Allegorie de la Nuit' (Allegory of the Night) - stands on an owl flying over a crescent moon. Both sculptures sit on a dark green and black marble base. Both are signed Aichele 90, for the year 1890.
