Excellent condition and patina. A brilliant exploration of a stallion in full trot.
Bonheur began his career as an artist working with his elder sister Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899) – a celebrated painter of animals and also a sculptor – in the studio of their father, drawing instructor Raymond Bonheur. Initially working as a painter, Isidore Bonheur made his Salon debut in 1848.
He achieved this most success with his sculptures of horses, which are usually depicted as relaxed rather than spirited, and which are among his most renowned works. His works rank among the finest of the French Animalier school.
