Sitting on a horse without saddle, reins or stirrups, that's prancing in enormous fear above a flickering fire at the floor. The body of the horseman follows the directions of the horses moves; is very much lean back; wearing a Roman armour. Solid casting of bronze, dark varnished patina. On subsequently applied pedastal of black marble. Source: Hugo Helbing Kunsthandlung and Kunstversteigerungshaus: Kunstbesitz eines Berliner Sammlers. Katalog Nr. 49; Math.
