Thoroughbred Horse Walking 1850 - 1920

Edgar Degas, a renowned Impressionist sculptor, captured the essence of motion in his bronze sculpture "Thoroughbred Horse Walking" (1850-1920). The work, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Degas's fascination with the equine form and his ability to depict the subtle movements of a horse in a seemingly effortless stride. The sculpture's realistic portrayal of the animal's anatomy and the sense of weight and balance make it a compelling example of Degas's mastery of sculpture.
