Hello everyone!!
In continuation of my horse sculpture collection is this bronze mare and newborn foal sculpture. This one was originally sculpted by Rembrandt Bugatti sometime in the late 1800's to early 1900's (this one is a reproduction of course). Bugatti's workmanship is just amazing on this sculpture. Not even the slightest detail was omitted. It measures 10" tall and 14" long. The sculpture weighs nearly 22lbs, but a good portion of the weight is the marble base it's mounted on.
A bit of Rembrandt Bugatti's history. Rembrandt Bugatti was an Italian sculptor, known primarily for his bronze sculptures of wildlife subjects. Born in Milan, into a family with a strong and long tradition in the arts, Rembrandt Bugatti was the second son of Carlo Bugatti and his wife, Teresa Lorioli. His father was known for his exotic and fanciful furniture, silver, metalwork and musical instruments. His older brother was Ettore Bugatti who became one of the world`s most famous automobile manufacturers.

When I saw your dueling stallions the first thing that came to mind was REMBRANDT! These equine depictions are so realistic, that no other artist comes to mind! Fantastic pieces!
