The Boy and Frog is a delightful bronze by Sir William Reid Dick in 1936. It was donated to the park by rich artist Sigismund Goetze, who lived close by.
The statue was placed in the gardens when they were laid out in the 1930s after the departure of the Royal Botanical Society.
I like this, especially the loitering duck! I wonder how often people climb up to see what it is that he is holding and looking at so intently?
