Description

The Life-Size Mare and Reclining Foal Bronze Sculpture stands at an imposing 180cm and presents a two-figure composition of quiet, instinctive tenderness: a full-height adult mare, head gently lowered, stands watch over a foal lying at rest beside her on the ground.

Cast Bronze, Hand-Finished

Both figures are cast using the traditional lost-wax method, which preserves the fine anatomical detail of each figure, from the mare's muscle definition and fetlock texture to the compact, softer form of the recumbent foal. The surface carries a deep dark brown to near-black patina, applied and hand-worked across both pieces to achieve total tonal consistency. These are not decorative approximations; they are life-size bronze horse sculptures rendered with the precision and care of serious figurative work. The 600kg combined weight reflects the density and integrity of solid bronze casting throughout.

At this scale and with this patina character, the group reads powerfully in formal outdoor settings: institutional courtyards, estate lawns, civic plazas, and the forecourts of private residences. Indoors, the composition suits double-height entrance halls, large galleries, or atrium spaces where the floor footprint can be properly respected. The dark bronze tones work against pale stone, warm sandstone, and clipped formal greenery alike.

Handmade to Order, Fully Customisable

The patina can be specified: options include the deep near-black shown, a mid warm brown, a verde antique green, or a natural unsealed bronze left to age in situ. The composition can be scaled up or down to suit your site. We also accept fully bespoke equine commissions inspired by the work of specific figurative sculptors or based on a specific animal. Please contact us before ordering to discuss scale, finish, and placement logistics for a piece of this weight.
