Karl rider to heste til vands 1894

"Karl Rider to Heste til Vands" is a bronze sculpture by Danish artist Theodor Philipsen, created in 1894. The sculpture, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, depicts a nude man riding two rearing horses. Philipsen's work is known for its naturalistic depictions of the human figure, which is evident in the muscular form and dynamic pose of the rider. The sculpture's title, which translates to "Karl Rides Two Horses to the Water," hints at a narrative involving the rider's daring equestrian skills.
