Horse Rearing c. 1880 - 1964

This bronze sculpture, "Horse Rearing," was created by Edgar Degas, a renowned French Impressionist sculptor and painter, sometime between 1880 and 1917. The piece captures a horse in a dynamic pose, its front legs raised as if about to rear up. Degas is known for his depictions of horses, often capturing their movement and energy with a dynamic and sometimes unconventional style. The sculpture's rough, textured surface adds to its realism, evoking the horse's musculature and the motion of its movement. This small-scale bronze sculpture exemplifies Degas's fascination with the human form and his commitment to capturing the essence of movement.
