Pureblood Arab Stallion (master model) (Translation)
Arab Pur-Sang (Primary Title)
Antoine-Louis Barye, French, 1796 - 1875 (Artist)
Unlike the Turkish Horse, this sculpture of the noble, well-groomed animal is very subdued. Here, the sculpture is more a study in anatomy than in animal psychology and shows Barye’s great knowledge of his equine subjects, whether seen in a stable or imagined in the wild.
