Arabian Rider Returning From The Hunt / Polychrome Sculpture / After Alfred Barye

An impressive and superb Orientalist sculpture in polychrome regule, after Alfred Barye (1839–1882), depicting an Arab horseman returning from the hunt.

This remarkable equestrian composition depicts a richly dressed Arab horseman riding an elegant horse advancing proudly, with its front leg raised.

The figure, wearing a turban and a finely crafted traditional costume, carries his weapons and the spoils of his hunt, lending this scene a particularly lively and picturesque quality.

The piece captivates with the richness of its composition, the precision of its details, and the quality of its carving.

The horse, with its noble and elegant bearing, displays beautiful musculature, a carefully modeled mane, and richly ornamented tack.

The polychromy is particularly decorative, combining beautiful shades of coppery brown and golden bronze for the rider with an antique green patina for the horse.

This harmony of colors beautifully highlights the reliefs and lends the entire piece a striking presence.

The sculpture rests on a substantial rectangular pedestal of veined marble, which perfectly showcases this composition.

This work is part of the great tradition of 19th-century Orientalist sculpture, particularly prized for its depictions of horsemen, horses, and hunting scenes.

A particularly decorative collector’s piece, generously sized, ideal for a distinctive interior, a library, an office, or a collection of Orientalist sculptures.
