Bronze Animal Sculpture Of A Working Horse Grazing, By Hermann Hubacher, Switzerland
With blinders on, we can assume that after a hard day’s work in the fields, this horse is enjoying its meal.
This bronze sculpture, with its lovely size and red-tinged medal patina, was cast using the lost-wax technique by Mario Pastori (square stamp on the base).
A few minor traces of oxidation that do not affect the presentation.
Signature on the rear base: Hubacher 1940
A highly renowned Swiss sculptor.
