Inscribed MARIO KORBEL (on the base) and stamped with the ROMAN BRONZE WORKS N-Y foundry mark (along the base). Night is one of Korbel's most successful and popular compositions. He made several versions of it--a 1920 polychrome, an 8 1/4 inch long bronze sketch modeled in 1921 and at least two casts of a one-half life-size version, also from 1921. There are two life-size marble versions as well, based on the bronze, one of which was purchased by fellow sculptor, Anna Hyatt Huntington for Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
