Bronze horse signed Coustou

Dimensions: : 58 cm,: 50 cm,: 25 cm

Description:

French bronze from the second half of the 1800s

made on the model of the "Horses of Marly"

by the French sculptor Guillaume Coustou (Lyon, 11/29/1677 - Paris, 02/22/1746)

The original sculptures, in white Carrara marble,

were commissioned in 1743 by Louis XV to adorn

the Abreuvoir de Marly and installed only two years later

The runaway steed, decked out in all its harness,

he is barely held by the bridle by a young squire

The fusion, rich in details and of excellent workmanship,

shows a nice burnished patina.

Signed lower on the Coustou base
