Photo of "Peter and Willie" sculpture

Peter and Willie
Sculptor Otto Neals, 1997
Imagination Playground, Lincoln Road entrance to Prospect Park, Brooklyn
Bronze

This playful piece features the bronze figures of a boy reading a book with his dog on a contoured basalt boulder. The intimate sculpture was inspired by Peter's Chair, one of a series of children's books authored by Ezra Jack Keats, and was created by Brooklyn resident Otto Neals.
