In 2015, when we were touring in our motor-home, we came across these sculptures in Goslar, Lower Saxony, Germany. They are by Fernando Botero, a Colombian artist and sculptor who was born in 1932. He often depicts people and figures in the larger-than-life forms that you see here.
He has a plaza named after him in Medellin, Colombia and his work is featured in art galleries and outdoor settings around the world. He spent two of his teenage years at a school for matadors.
These sculptures are called "Mann mit Stock" (Man with stick) and "Frau mit (altem) Schirm" (Woman with (old) umbrella).

@JudyEv what I do in those cases is to have a clear shot without me and another with me. Waheehee.

They two are a perfect match for each other,however they two have to lose some weight and the umbrella is too small to shade her. -I know this is the sculptor's style.
