Muut tiedot
"Folke Filbyter," a historical figure, is a smaller version of the monumental Folkungabrunnen group of sculptures Milles created for the main square in Linköping, Sweden in 1927. The sculptor has depicted the progenitor of the house of Bjelbo clan at the moment when, according to the legend, he is on the search for his abducted grandson. Milles portrays the horse falling on a stone with Folke looking steadily downward and this moment fills the composition with movement.
