MONUMENTAL BREAK TIME
By Paul Anderson
Size: 46″ H x 70″ L x 22″ W
Weight: Approximately 350 lbs

Peace. Curiosity. Childhood.

The Moment
Two children sit together on a fallen tree branch, lost in the pages of their favorite book.

Monumental Break Time captures a quiet and heartfelt scene of childhood curiosity and imagination. The young girl reads with focus while the boy beside her has gently drifted off to sleep, his book resting in his lap. It’s a moment every family recognizes — the calm pause between play, learning, and rest.

The natural tree branch beneath them adds warmth and authenticity, making the sculpture feel as though it belongs naturally in its surroundings. This piece radiates comfort, innocence, and the joy of simple moments shared.

At nearly six feet long and weighing approximately 350 pounds, this life-sized sculpture creates an inviting focal point for gardens, courtyards, parks, libraries, schools, and family homes.

This is more than decoration.
It is a story preserved in bronze.

The Craftsmanship
Handcrafted in solid 100% American bronze using the traditional lost-wax casting process, this sculpture preserves intricate detail and lifelike expression. From the texture of the tree branch to the relaxed posture of the children, every surface is individually hand-finished.

A rich, hand-applied patina is carefully hand-rubbed to bring out depth, highlights, and texture. Natural tonal variations ensure that no two sculptures are exactly alike. Designed with heirloom quality in mind, this monumental bronze is built to endure outdoors for generations with minimal maintenance.

Color Options: The standard finish features a multi-color patina for depth and character. The sculpture can also be cast in classic statuary green or traditional brown for a more timeless appearance. All finishes weather beautifully outdoors.

Installation & Mounting
Constructed for permanent outdoor display, Monumental Break Time is made to withstand the elements while maintaining its beauty and structural integrity.

For secure installation, mounting brackets can be welded onto the sculpture upon request. Mounting screws or bolts can then anchor the piece firmly to concrete, stone, or other solid foundations. Secure mounting is recommended for public spaces, schools, parks, or high-traffic environments.

Monumental Break Time is more than a sculpture — it is childhood, imagination, and quiet connection cast in bronze. A heartwarming centerpiece designed to inspire for generations.
