An Early 20th Century Alabaster Horse’s Head

This item has been sold.


A fine early 20th century sculpture in alabaster of a horse’s head, in movement with a short flowing mane and flared nostrils, set upon a rough hewn irregular socle. Probably Italian, circa 1920.

Condition: Excellent, the sculpture is in very good condition, with no chips or scratches to the stone. It has a rich golden brown colour, with a fine patina and a vibrant appearance. This is clearly the work of an accomplished artist, who is sadly anonymous.
