Waclaw Bębnowski belonged to the generation of artists who created the face of Young Poland sculpture. The artist studied at the School of Fine Arts in Cracow from 1888-97. He studied intermittently, staying in Paris in 1895, and in the following years in Munich. In the last years of the 19th century, he exhibited his sculptures in Warsaw's Krywult Salon and the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts. Beginning in 1903, Bębnowski ran a factory of artistic sculptures and vases in Sluzew, Kuyavia. In 1905 he settled in Aleksandrów Kujawski, where he continued his artistic activities. His figurines and vases were very popular, initially in nearby Ciechocinek and Warsaw, also in Krakow, and later in Berlin and London, where the author sent his sculptures.
