horse, modeled in a rather realistic way, rests in dynamic posture on a thin base, with the right foreleg raised in a graceful way. The head is turned slightly to the left, thus accentuating the general impression of movement. The body and limbs of the animal are sturdy, the chest is powerful, the details of the muzzle are rendered in a fine and effective way with particular attention to the muscles under the skin.
