The Bowman 1928

"The Bowman" is a bronze sculpture created in 1928 by Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. It depicts a nude, muscular figure, likely a warrior, riding a horse. The figure is posed in a dynamic, almost acrobatic, motion as he draws back his bow to shoot an arrow. The sculpture's dramatic pose and the powerful anatomy of both the rider and the horse convey a sense of dynamism and strength. Mestrovic is known for his monumental sculptures, which often explored themes of heroism and the human condition.
