Edgar Degas, a renowned Impressionist sculptor, created "Horse Standing" between 1876 and 1920, capturing a horse's muscular form in bronze. This bronze sculpture, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Degas' fascination with the animal's movement and anatomy. The sculpture's rough surface and dynamic pose evoke the energy and grace of a horse, showcasing the artist's focus on capturing the essence of movement in his subject matter.
