Godefroid Devreese (1861-1941)- Horse, Bronze Sculpture, Stamped H. Luppens & Cie, Brussels

Important bronze sculpture with brown patina depicting a horse at rest, treated with powerful, naturalistic modeling. The animal, harnessed, stands on a naturalistic terrace adorned with a fence element, a composition characteristic of late XIXᵉ century animal production.

The work is signed by Belgian sculptor Godefroid Devreese (1861-1941) and also bears the stamp of Brussels foundryman H. Luppens & Cie, attesting to a period print. The quality of the chasing, the richness of the nuanced brown patina and the anatomical realism testify to meticulous casting.

Godefroid Devreese, a renowned Belgian sculptor and medalist, was a professor at the Brussels Academy. His work includes numerous animal sculptures and decorative figures, sought after for their elegance and naturalistic precision.
