Marly Horse In Bronze Signed Coustou

Old 19th century bronze with brown patina signed Coustou on the terrace, taking one of Marly's steeds as its theme. Small model 20 cm x 16 cm The original work is a Carrara marble statue dating from the 18th century, which decorated the troughs of the Château de Marly, and which can today be admired at the Louvre Museum. The scene shows a rearing stallion, held back with difficulty by a groom. The artist was able to accurately transcribe the nervous state of the animal, and the wild strength of its posture. Note the fineness of the physiognomic details of the equine and the man sculpted here: the mane blowing in the wind, the tensed muscles, the fight that they both seem to be waging. An ode to the wild beauty of the horse, this bronze sculpture will delight animal lovers. You will undoubtedly be charmed by the vitality and realism that emerges. Delivery 20 euros
