Detailed Description : This impressive bronze by noted equestrian sculptor Isidore-Jules Bonheur (1827-1901) was first cast circa 1860. The model was the horse "Kingsem", the unbeaten winner of 54 races including the Oaks, St. Leger, Derby and the Goodwood Cup. Her daughters and the progeny of her daughters won a further 41 classic races. Certainly this was a horse well worthy of immortalizing in bronze, and this was ably achieved by this fine sculptor.

It is finished with a deep, rich patina that is permanently fused into the metal under very high heat. This patina is available in either the greenish-brown tones shown above, or in classic brown bronze tones.
The sculpture is mounted onto a marble base, stands 28.5" tall by 30" wide, and is signed "I BONHEUR" in its realistically earthen base.
